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.

I'll believe it when I see it

It really would be so much easier to just boost Mastodon posts into a Lemmy community.

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.

Why did you link to a Mastodon post and not the actual article?

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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"...

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.

You could just block them yourself if you don't like leftist spaces that much

Tumblr doesn't really strike me as leftist, so much as having a low signal:noise ratio

In the early-to-mid 2010s Tumblr was mainly associated with "social justice" types of people, it seems to have become a lot less relevant at some point in the late 2010s.

Is it still the same SJW hellhole it was a decade ago?

[–] Whateley@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Lol, people are still using SJW as a snarl world in 2025?

[–] rigatti@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

No, the word is DEI now.
