Why Can’t You Filter by New on Tumblr? Let’s Break It Down!
Hey there, Tumblr enthusiast! So you’ve been clicking around trying to filter by new on Tumblr, only to find a real-life drama unfolding? You’re not alone! It’s frustrating; even Shakespeare would have trouble spinning a sonnet about this. Let’s dive into what’s going on!
First off, let’s address the elephant in the room. As of now, Tumblr has decided that filtering posts by “new” isn’t an option. Yes, you read that right: no filtering! Imagine going to an all-you-can-eat buffet and being told you can’t have the fresh stuff. All you get is yesterday’s leftovers! What a bummer, right? 😒
You see, when Tumblr tweaked its coding and interface, they stripped away a lot of nifty features—including filtering by post date. It’s like they took your favorite toy and replaced it with a rock. However, it doesn’t mean you’re completely out of luck! Some themes display posts with their publish dates. So, if you want to see when a post was made, consider switching themes. You might just find a gem in the rough!
If you’re nostalgic for past posts, simply visit a blog’s post archive by adding /archive to the blog’s URL. For a specific day, add the date like this: https://discardingimages.tumblr.com/archive or https://discardingimages.tumblr.com/day/2017/06/19. Voilà! Instant time travel!
Oh, and here’s a cheeky little tidbit: if someone reblogs a post and then deletes it, the number will stay in notes but the username will vanish, like magic!
So, while it seems that filtering by new is a waiting game, don’t despair! You’ve got other tools at your disposal.
