I've been planning on getting a Tumblr account for some time now, but I never really explored what the site has to offer. What I want to know before joining are the basics, if it's as fucked up as DeviantArt, and the community the site has going for them. That's all.

It's all social justice, lesbians, homestuck, shipping, gay porn, furry porn, gay furry porn, and night blogging.

1.Don't be male
2.Don't be white

Oh hush up everybody. Honestly if you want the best out of Tumblr just avoid any social justice shit as much as possible. Although if it has to come down to it, you can always follow this user.

Her name is Tenaflyviper

Also you should try this awesome voice actor named LM-G1.
Besides voice acting, he has funny posts as well.

Oh and this one especially for you Shrek.

Mod Edit: Can't link to NC content.

What you really need to know is what blogs to follow. There are many different types, but generally the ones that are curated are the best. Kateopolis is a good example of this.

Many people's personal blogs are also very good. For example, a lot of our former staffers have excellent blogs. A few really great ones that I follow are Kenyatta Cheese, Mike Rugnetta, Olivia G. and Amanda B who actually left KYM to go work for Tumblr, so she's especially a pro.

Then you also have single subject blogs that cover stuff like photojournalism, weaponry, film, and art. You also have quirky blogs that kind of fits the Tumblr idiom of weird, single subject stuff like taking the gifs out of Buzzfeed posts so it's just the text, surreal Seinfeld fanfiction, famous album covers recreated with socks, and this one, which is the same pic of Dave Coulier reposted every single day. It's the most consistently good blog on the site.

You also have blogs that act as feeds for other sites, which can range from news sites like the Atlantic to webcomics like Dinosaur Comics and everything in between. You can also track tags for stuff you like, such as #art or #gaming or #memes.

That should give you an idea of what Tumblr has to offer, which is a lot. For all the shit it gets for being a hive of idiots, it's one of the best content sources on the web. You can also track tags for stuff you think is neat.

Also follow my blog because it's awesome.

IMO, Tumblr is the same as Reddit. Yeah, there's scum if you look hard enough but if you follow the right people (or subscribe to the right subreddits) it can be a great site.

Also, Fridge Logic's blog is pretty awesome. Follow me too, if you like.

It all depends on what you like. There's different parts of tumblr, (some not as good as others), though I do believe the worst parts of tumblr aren't as bad as the worst parts of DA. Just my opinion however.

(Shameless self promotion though I usually only reblog)

Dumb question – what does NC stand for in this context?

Nude content, I believe.

"Not Cool" content, basically content that violates the site's NSFW guidelines
