Ahahaha... oops?

I'd say something about a nefarious plan to get everyone to start using Dreamwidth, but I really don't think that wanting more people here is all that nefarious.

In any case, nefarious or not, I certainly seem to have accidentally gotten some attention.

It's interesting, because every time I log in to Tumblr that 'find communities' message is always the first thing that turns on. Which is really more of a dreamwidth feature and is unnecessary on tumblr, which is in itself a community and people already have convos about their interests.

Oof, I've got that "Find Community" thing popping up on the first page of my dash view. Usually not until around the seventh or eighth post, but even then!

I saw an ask answered by some Tumblr staff within the past few days where it looked like you need official approval for Tumblr communities to exist? Like, you suggest one, and then Tumblr decides if it can be a real thing or not? I haven't looked into starting or joining any myself, but I would find that to be a severe detriment to doing so on Tumblr. Like, I can understand if they're just trying to minimize the number of communities per topic, but that still has the potential to go bad in any number of ways.
