of all platforms I didn't expect the hellsite to federate.

As long as the NSFW comes over. The block button is right there for anyone who doesn't like it
Wow, way to try staying relevant I guess? They had a huge following and the porn was flowing during the good times. They blew their chance and now it’s a shell of itself. Fuck Tumblr.
As long as there's no toxic behaviour from them, I'm more than OK with this
I welcome our colon three posting brothers and sisters
For a long time I thought tumblr was Pintrest.
What the heck is tumblr? I dont think I've ever done an image search that lead me to that site.
it's an old microblogging platform, was popular around Myspace era but still has a decent base. it's mostly fandom stuff, art and porn.. i personally like following artists on there
You are not alone there
It really would be so much easier to just boost Mastodon posts into a Lemmy community.
that's crazy talk, next you'll be telling us we should be able to actually block people from seeing and interacting with our posts
Stop posting on a public forum and go text your friends if that’s what you want.
the Lemmy block system works as intended. if you want some other system, use some other service. but being a federated system, you can't actually stop the data from being visible, or someone from creating a new user and interacting, if your post is public.

Oh hellsite
I'm sure I've read this headline before and nothing came of it then.
Automattic declined to share a time frame as to when the migration would be complete, given its scale, but a rep for the company called the progress so far “exciting.”
Yeah, they've been talking about this for years now.
With all the decades of poorly made freshman intern tier spaghetti code Tumblr is built on it's no surprise adding anything takes a long time.
I'll believe it when I see it
Why did you link to a Mastodon post and not the actual article?
The article seems well-written, except that:
the fediverse — the open social web powered by the protocol ActivityPub also used by Mastodon, Threads, Flipboard, and others.
Seriously? Flipboard has like one thousand Monthly Active Users and we have like 50 times that, but we're like "and others" lel... I guess they didn't mention Pixelfed either tho and it's a lot "hotter"...
Flipboard is how you can federate BBC and a bunch of legit news networks. They're pretty important imho
One thing at least is that when you search "Reddit alternatives", most articles that I came across seemed to make out like Lemmy is the best option in terms of amount of users and not being advertised explicitly as a "free speech and censorship free platform", which we all know really means "bigots are welcome here." In fact when I was searching Reddit alternatives, it seemed to me that Lemmy is really the only option.
That article is intended for casual readers. These people might be more familiar with Flipboard than Lemmy or Pixelfed.
The same way that people are familiar with Blackberry or Nokia despite none of them even reach mainstream market anymore.
Last thing we need is casual news readers joining. This is the dark souls of the fediverse and I am the undead burg twink invader.
