Despite the diversity in community interests, all these communities function on the same set of accepted albeit unofficial etiquette on Tumblr. Certain rules govern these practices some of which are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/tumblr-facts-limits\/\">factual limitations<\/a>, while others are unofficial where things can get nasty if not followed.<\/p>\n<p>As part of a community, you would want to get along with everyone else and would normally try not to get on people\u2019s nerves.

Users reblog to <strong>share posts with others<\/strong> \u2013 it works like the retweet function on Twitter. Everyone reblogs on Tumblr. Obsessively. There are accounts that only reblog posts from others, without posting an original piece of their own, which is fine, but do bear in mind these 4 do\u2019s and don\u2019ts.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/guide-essential-tumblr-etiquette\/reblog.jpg\" alt=\"reblog\" height=\"246\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<h3>1. Do Reblog But Don\u2019t Repost<\/h3>\n<p>Whenever you come across a post you\u2019d like to share on your Tumblr blog, <strong>reblog it instead of reposting it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By reblogging, you <strong>credit the original author of the post<\/strong>. When you repost, you give the impression that you are the original poster, which isn\u2019t true. In fact, this is tantamount to <strong>stealing another person\u2019s work<\/strong>. And anyways, it\u2019s also easier to reblog than to repost as it just takes one button.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Don\u2019t Alter Posts<\/h3>\n<p>Another reason to reblog is that the original poster may have written something to describe the post. It is thus <strong>rude to remove the author\u2019s comments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It is also common for users to post from external sources like fan art from Deviantart. They will credit the artist accordingly by providing a link to the original in the comments. Removing that credit is equivalent to <strong>not giving credit where credit is due<\/strong>. Also, people will continuously bug you for the origin of the material.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Don\u2019t Delete Other Comments<\/h3>\n<p>You will come across Tumblr posts that carry user comments, which you might want to consider removing before a reblog. Don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Once in a while, users respond to a post by adding in extra information in a comment. Sometimes reblogs happen <strong>because of the comments<\/strong>. If you still insist on not including the comments, you can go to the original post and reblog it from there.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Don\u2019t Reblog Things That You Hate<\/h3>\n<p>Suppose that you\u2019re not a fan of BBC\u2019s Sherlock TV Series and someone on your dashboard happens to post a scene from it, don\u2019t reblog it just to rant about it.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, <strong>people come to Tumblr to find and share things they love<\/strong>. They will not appreciate it when you rant about how terrible their interest is. Just continue on your merry way reblogging things that you like, and ignoring things that you hate.<\/p>\n<h2>Tagging Etiquette<\/h2>\n<p>Hashtagging on Tumblr is more commonly known as tagging. Tags play a big part in the Tumblr universe. It allows users to <strong>track posts, spread information<\/strong> and <strong>organize their blog contents<\/strong>. While their purpose seems to be similar to how they are used on other social media sites, on Tumblr, the usage of tags are on a different level.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/social-networking-guide-using-hashtags\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: Mastering Social Media Hashtags: Your Ultimate Guide\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Mastering Social Media Hashtags: Your Ultimate Guide<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/social-networking-guide-using-hashtags.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-19963 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/social-networking-guide-using-hashtags.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">Mastering Social Media Hashtags: Your Ultimate Guide<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tChris Messina started the hashtag revolution with his infamous tweet \"how do you feel about using # (pound)...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/guide-essential-tumblr-etiquette\/tagging.jpg\" alt=\"tagging\" height=\"234\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<h3>1. Don\u2019t Tag Your Hate<\/h3>\n<p>This is somewhat similar to \u201cDon\u2019t reblog your hate\u201d but applied to your own post. If you really hate Games of Thrones, that\u2019s fine. You are entitled to your opinion but don\u2019t tag the post with #game of thrones or any of its related tags. As mentioned, people track tags because they love something; they care little to nothing about your rants as your hate does not contribute to the fandom.<\/p>\n<h3>2. You Should Tag Spoilers<\/h3>\n<p>If you follow new episodes of TV shows and like to blog about it the moment you finish watching it, do everyone a favor and tag it #spoilers. As much as you like to post spoilers, I doubt you would like it if others spoil a show for you before it is even shown where you live.<\/p>\n<p>It is thus common courtesy to tag your post as #spoilers <strong>for your followers<\/strong>. This makes it easier for them to block specific posts. You can also let your followers know in advance and tell them the tag you\u2019ll be using.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Tag Triggers And NSFW<\/h3>\n<p>Tumblr has a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/policy\/en\/community\">policy<\/a> about posting sensitive issues but it acknowledges that this differs from person to person. That said, some things do bring out painful memories for certain people while other things also just Not Safe For Work (NSFW).<\/p>\n<p>By tagging your posts with #trigger warning, you\u2019ll <strong>help those who are a little bit sensitive to block posts<\/strong> that may cause them discomfort. Tagging #NSFW will help your followers keep their jobs and for the rest of us to treat your Tumblr posts accordingly.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Comment With Tags<\/h3>\n<p>There are differing schools of thought on why you must post your comments in the tags. The origins of these standards are sketchy and the rules vague.<\/p>\n<p>The basic premise however is to put <strong>reaction comments (also fangirling\/fanboying) in tags<\/strong>. Examples include #lol #omg #all my feels #my otp #this. People prefer comments in the text section to add to the post like refutations to a statement as they feel that it adds more to the post. It also makes for neater reblogging.<\/p>\n<h2>Social Etiquette<\/h2>\n<p>At the end of the day, you are still dealing with people, hence the \u201csocial\u201d aspect of a social network. All the rules of etiquette adds up to <strong>how your actions affect others<\/strong>, particularly their feelings. Here are a few more do\u2019s and don\u2019ts to help you out.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/guide-essential-tumblr-etiquette\/socialising.jpg\" alt=\"social\" height=\"293\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<h3>1. User-Friendly Themes<\/h3>\n<p>Honestly you can do whatever you want with the look of your blog. However, do take into account that <strong>people may check out your blog outside their dashboard<\/strong>. If your blog has music on autoplay, tiled GIFs in the background or neon colours (or perhaps it lacks navigation buttons), then chances are they won\u2019t be sticking around to check out your posts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/tumblr-themes\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: 50 Handpicked Beautiful Tumblr Themes (Updated)\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">50 Handpicked Beautiful Tumblr Themes (Updated)<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/tumblr-themes.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-9343 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/tumblr-themes.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">50 Handpicked Beautiful Tumblr Themes (Updated)<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTumblr is one of the most interesting social media platforms and home to creative individuals who like to...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>2. Don\u2019t Demand A Follow Back<\/h3>\n<p>No. Just, no. Even if you have followed their blog and you desperately need friends or followers, do not drop the person a line to ask them to follow you back. There isn\u2019t a <strong>popularity contest on who gets the most followers<\/strong>, and basically, it\u2019s like complimenting a random stranger on their fashion sense and telling them to compliment you back.<\/p>\n<p>Talk to people and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/create-viral-content\/\">share interesting stuff on your blog<\/a> if you want to make friends. If they like you and think you\u2019re worth following back, they will. If they like you but don\u2019t follow back, don\u2019t take it personally. No one is entitled to follow backs.<\/p>\n<h3>3. No Anon Hate<\/h3>\n<p>The easiest way to talk to someone directly is through the ask box. If a user has enabled the ask box function on their blog, you can ask a question, comment or say hello to them. There is also an option in some ask boxes to remain anonymous.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please do not use this function to insult, bully or troll a person, although it is very easy to do so.<\/strong> You may think you\u2019re protected by the cloud of anonymity but Tumblr users can still find and report you to Tumblr\u2019s admin staff. People have enough problems in real life and they don\u2019t need more online.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Respect Others\u2019 Opinion<\/h3>\n<p>If you want to have an opinion on the Web, the first thing you need to understand is that others are entitled to their opinion as well. People like, hate, are indifferent to, feel strongly and love wrongly about all sorts of fandom-triggered craziness, and that\u2019s what makes the Web great.<\/p>\n<p>The last thing anyone needs, including you, is some hatemonger cramming opinions down one\u2019s throat. The best way to make sure that never happens if to start with yourself: <strong>respect the opinions of others as you would want them to respect yours.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>5. Credit Your Source<\/h3>\n<p>Perhaps you came across something outside of Tumblr that you want to share on your blog. If it\u2019s not yours, <strong>provide a link back to the source<\/strong>. Not crediting your source gives the wrong impression that you\u2019re stealing someone else\u2019s work. FYI Google, 9gag, weheartit.com and your computer folder are <em>not<\/em> sources.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t remember the source, put a disclaimer or don\u2019t post it up at all. Also if you have posted something up, and the creator finds it then asks you to take down their work, irregardless of credit given or not, please do so. They have their reasons and if there is honor among thieves, there can be honor among Tumblr users \u2013 let\u2019s make that happen.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Etiquette, in a sense, <strong>goes both ways<\/strong>. While common etiquette breach doesn\u2019t warrant a report, you can call out on people who don\u2019t adhere to the more serious ones, like posting what does not belong to them. Haters can be blocked and mean people unfollowed. You can even disable the anonymous option in ask.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you are unsure about the right step to take, you can always ask<\/strong>. Tumblr users are generally helpful and aren\u2019t shy to guide you. It\u2019s okay to make a mistake here or two. What is not okay is stirring up trouble when there is none. Tumblr is a place to play out your interests, so if you ever feel threatened or harrassed by someone, remember that you can always report them.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tumblr is more than just another social network site \u2013 it\u2019s a community.
