Wafrn is wild. I don’t use it regularly, but everytime I go there, there are walls of custom emoji reactions, individuals who post wild stuff I don’t understand and hundreds reacting to it with custom emojis that I don’t know the meaning of. I love it.
I never heard of those to be described as close to Tumblr. If we’re suggesting nice fedi platforms in general, I would suggest Catodon, which I maintain 😁
I’m trying Wafrn since you sent your message and it’s not like Pillowfort, or I missed something important. It feels like an enhanced Mastodon more than anything else.
I don’t know what to tell you, I never used any of those, but Wafrn is the one Fediverse platform that I know that presents itself as “Tumblr-inspired”. Don’t know if there are others, but this one’s the most popular for sure. It also connects with Bluesky.
I never used Tumblr so it may not be a Tumblr part that’s missing 😅. If I could describe it with things I know it’s more like the child of Mastodon and Lemmy. You have communities (but without votes), tags, and personal timelines.
lol, I said this kinda jokingly in another comment, but you may actually want to try Catodon (disclaimer: I’m the maintainer), “the child of Mastodon and Lemmy” sounds pretty close to what we’re doing (among others)
we’re also always open to suggestions, so if there’s any particular feature from Pillowfort that you’re missing, we’d seriously consider it, if it fits our direction. In any case I’d love to hear your feedback if you get around to trying it.
I have not used Tumblr, but I am replying here from my self-hosted Wafrn.
That may be a different experience from joining a Wafrn instance where people imported norms from Tumblr. Most of my follows and followers are probably on Mastodon. The selling point for me is that it speaks both ActivityPub and ATProto so it can also interact with BlueSky accounts directly instead of through a relay.
I have not used it, but wafrn is supposed to be a federated tumblr alternative.

That was my experience with Pillowfort. It seemed to be a fun club to be a part of, but God did I feel out of touch, I was soooo lost.
Also Sharkey and Akkoma

I’ll try it then :-)

I wasn’t a heavy user of Pillowfort (like I said I didn’t blend in even if I thought it cool). But if I think about something I’ll say it!
