Did Tumblr Get Rid of Links? Not So Fast!
Ah, the beloved social media platform Tumblr—where the posts are almost as chaotic as your group chats, and the memes flow like water. But hold your horses! Recently, it seems users have been flipping out over links not working properly. That’s right, the kind of annoyance that makes you want to throw your phone out of the window. So, what’s really going on?
First things first, you are definitely not alone. Many folks have been scratching their heads, trying to click on links just to find themselves standing in a digital wasteland, where nothing happens. You thought you could smoothly navigate to that fanfic or yummy recipe? Surprise! Thanks to recent bug issues following the iOS update 34.2, it’s like trying to force a square peg in a round hole and leaving people frustrated. And, just in case you didn’t hear: It’s a bug, not a feature!
- After checking Tumblr’s official blog about known issues, we learned that the developers are indeed aware of this pesky situation. They mentioned working on a fix while simultaneously issuing a universal apology—so they clearly know we’re unhappy!
- Your best bet right now? Update your Tumblr app! It seems that many users found relief simply by updating their app—yay for technology!
However, if you’re still having issues after updating (because life is just full of letdowns, isn’t it?), some users reported a solution involving hyperlinks! Apparently, if the hyperlink extracted from a post starts with “at.tumblr.com,” it will redirect you outside the app instead of keeping you inside it. Super annoying, right?
In such a case, it seems the workaround is to copy that pesky link by clicking on the three dots in the original post and replacing “at.tumblr.com” with “www.tumblr.com.” Sometimes, it feels like solving a Rubik’s Cube just to get to your content!
In conclusion, don’t panic just yet—links aren’t entirely extinct; they just decided to go on a brief vacation thanks to some bugs. Keep your app updated, and try out the hyperlink trick. If you’re still feeling lost in the digital cosmos and need additional help, don’t hesitate to live connect with us for more answers or resources! Happy Tumblr-ing!
