Tumblr head Matt Mullenweg also assuaged users fears by confirming that the platform will not remove its chronological feed.

I miss Tumblr. Yes, Tumblr still exists, but the Tumblr I miss does not. This stuff makes me wonder if we’ll see an ActivityPub Tumblr-clone at some point, like Lemmy/Kbin to Reddit, Mastodon to Twitter and PeerTube to YouTube.

Be the change you want to see

I believe Misskey/Calckey are meant to be exactly this, but I haven’t tried them yet.

I feel like an open source, federated substack would be more useful. You could use it like tumblr if you wanted to, but people could also use it to do real stuff.

There is WriteFreely, though it’s light on features.

Tumblr is adding activitypub support, hopefully this year.

I was wondering the exact same thing a few days ago and spent some amount of time googling it.

There’s already such a project actually, called Swanye. There seems to be a single person working on it, so if anyone has time to help I’m sure it will be appreciated
