Stuck in Tumblr Message Limbo? Here’s What You Need to Know!
Ah, the joys of social media! Remember when you thought that messaging your friends about those quirky cat memes or the latest fandom drama on Tumblr would be as smooth as butter? Spoiler alert: it’s not. If you’re facing the bummer of not being able to send posts or messages to your friends on Tumblr, you’ve landed in the right place. Let’s dig into this techy jungle of Tumblr messaging woes, shall we?
Did I Say Something Wrong?
First off, you might want to check your messages because if they just disappeared, your witty banter could have sparked a spam alarm! Yes, Tumblr has a delightful little policy where if you send too many messages with similar content, they’ll hit the brakes and banish you to the land of spam. Picture it: you send out an enthusiastic message about the latest fan theory, and bam! You’re slapped with a warning like a disgruntled cat. 
Pro tip: Sending one too many messages gets you only one warning before Tumblr puts up the no-fly zone sign!
Are Your Settings Playing Hard to Get?
Also, don’t be shy—your settings may be playing hide and seek. Check those pesky message permissions in your account settings like a true detective! Are you sure your account has what it takes? Sometimes these permission settings can be tricky—if you’ve turned off messaging for your followers, you might just be shutting down that personal chat line just when that juicy meme needs sharing.
Consider this: was it always like this, or did you wake up one day to find that the Tumblr messaging fairy took a vacation? If it’s a new development, you’re not alone.
Is Tumblr Going Ghost?
Rumor has it that Tumblr might be scaling back on messaging features. If you grumble about missing the luxe experience of private messages, you might just have to stick to using the chat function. And sometimes… sometimes, your posts take a little vacation and don’t show up at all when you just hit “Post.”
Oh, and let’s throw in the delightful possibility of being shadowbanned! Yes, that’s a term that sounds like it belongs in a sci-fi movie, yet it’s real! If one of your blogs vanished faster than socks in the dryer, it could be that Tumblr’s glitch fairy decided to test its skills. Last October, one of my sideblogs experienced this, and after a chat with Tumblr Support—who must have a crystal ball—I got it fixed in no time.
Sympathetic Situations: Are You and Your Wifey Stuck?
Lastly, if you’re trying to send lovey-dovey messages to your wife, and those are getting lost as well—even though you’re mutuals—then, oh boy! That’s like trying to have a secret rendezvous at a crowded party with no snacks. 
So, definitely explore all the options above, and, if you’re still sitting on that “can’t send” post or message, don’t hesitate to reach out.
