As of today, November 17, 2018, any post with links, any links, even to other tumblr posts, just don’t show up anymore in tumblr’s search engine.
I just found out about it after I posted a fic with a link to my masterlist and it got little to no notes (it shouldn’t). I was right – the moment I deleted the links, my post magically appeared in the search again. Wow.
Please spread the word to warn the others.
Yep. I noticed this when I was reporting a new bunch of spammy reblogs. I used to be able to hide those once I’d reported them. Now they’re not even there. Great for hiding spam… NOT great for genuine creators of any kind on this site.
Explains why my fics have gotten slow traction.
Question, could we bypass it by posting our details of our fics in the original post THEN reblog it with the official link?
….ya’ll can’t do one thing without screwing up fifteen others goddamn.
WHERE’S MY JOB STAFF. I CAN DO THIS BETTER THAN YA’LL AND I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW COMPUTERS WORK.
I jumped ship from Tumblr and this is where I landed. I'm a philosophy postdoc (INTJ, she/her) with a serious thing for Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Sometimes I even write fanfiction about it. Mostly Loki and Thor/Loki (sometimes NSFW), some miscellaneous Hiddles, MCU (Steve/Tony or "Superhusbands" is my secondary ship), occasional Cherik, Game of Thrones, LOTR, Whedonverse... whatever catches my fancy, really.
