For those seeking out a federated and open alternative to Tumblr, Wafrn is looking extremely promising. It can speak both ActivityPub and AT Protocol, offers a ton of interesting features and customization, and focuses on making an incredibly fun experience.

    Did you see Automattic is in the process of rolling out a split from “notes” into likes, reblogs, and comments? 🤢

      Last I heard from Automattic, they were putting the Fediverse conversion on indefinite hiatus.

      Is your news saying they’re starting up again ?

      That might be more related to what they’re doing with the WordPress-ActivityPub integration, as a way to work around some of the weird limitations WordPress has for representing notifications and activities other than comments. It’s fairly standard for Fediverse stuff.

        Oh, I misunderstood, I didn’t realize this related to Tumblr specifically…

        Still, it might make some of the dev work easier, if they do end up migrating the backend over to WordPress.
