Migrating to WordPress now is an interesting choice, considering all the drama they’re in right now.
I thought so too but the people who own Tumblr now are the same people causing that drama.
They’ve been talking about this for years, wake me up when they actually do it. Or don’t, whatever.
TIL: Tumblr is still alive.
What’s the point of it just being WordPress though? That’s…odd.
It’s because tumblr is owned by the company of one of the original wordpress creators.
They’re completely incompatible systems. Tumblr was always more of a microblog while WordPress is basically a CMS, at this point. The only way to get those two to talk would be to federate, now that I think about it.
Why are you comparing them as if they’re equivalent?? Wordpress is being used as a backend for tumblr
I didn’t know. I’m used to the version you self-host, not whatever the service is using.
Sorry, I mean why even call it Tumblr if it’s just WordPress at this point?
Tumpress
Wordbler
Wordblur; I like that one.
Yes it is, and my wife is one of two who pays a subscription to it…
Why? All the furries are already here.
Ignorant question incoming: Would this result in a huge influx of traffic if your instance federates with tumblr, because you’re federating with all of tumblr? Or do individual tumblr blogs need to federate with each instance?
OMG YEEEEEEEEES
