Is Tumblr Playing Tricks on You? Here’s the Scoop on Following!
So, my dear Tumblr-wanderer, you’re feeling a little perplexed by the whole “following” situation on Tumblr. Welcome to the club where we’re all wondering if our main blogs have a mind of their own! 🎩✨
Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty. First off, are you sure you aren’t accidentally clicking on those little ‘Follow’ buttons? Seriously, they’re like roguish ninjas just waiting to nab your attention! Every time someone reblogs something, that pesky button is just sitting there, all innocent-like, but absolutely ready to launch you into a whole new world of follows. I mean, I don’t know about you, but I’ve found myself in plenty of weird follower situations just from an ill-timed click. Oops! 😅
Next, take a good hard look at your browser extensions. You might think your browser is safe and sound, but those rogue plugins can be nefarious little gremlins! They could be scheming behind your back, accessing things on Tumblr like some no-good interloper! If you have any third-party apps linked to your Tumblr account, it’s time to give them the old heave-ho. Head over to your settings page, and for the love of all things Tumblr, hit that X next to anything you don’t trust. Your blog should be a fortress!
Now, let’s chat a bit about those random blogs you might hop onto outside of your beloved dashboard, like coolblog.tumblr.com. These blogs can have some *serious* custom JavaScript magic happening, and let me tell you, it could be as sneaky as a cat burglar in a night mask. They might just auto-follow you the moment you waltz onto their turf. Definitely a *’not cool’ move*, right?
More on the topic of following, if you’ve ventured into the world of side blogs, let’s make one thing crystal clear: only your main blog can follow other blogs. Those adorable little side blogs of yours, while they come equipped with the ability to message, can’t follow a single soul. They’re like those friends who bring snacks to a party but can’t actually join in the fun. Bummer, right?
As per Tumblr’s guidelines, you can whip up to ten secondary blogs per day; however, they lack some snazzy social features. You can reply and reblog, but following? Nope! So, if your follower count is creeping up on you from the main blog, just know it’s probably your own handiwork—or mischief!
If this jumbled mess of following is still giving you a migraine, don’t fret! We’re here to help you untangle your Tumblr woes.
