Hi, fedi! I'm crawling out of my hermit hole to share my new app, TumblBee, with you all 🐝

https://lilacpixel.itch.io/tumblbee

TumblBee is a pay-what-you-want cross-platform app for exporting your original #Tumblr posts (and pages) to Markdown or HTML. Back up your content and browse it locally, or export to Markdown and drop your posts into your favorite static site generator. (There's even a guide to exporting for Obsidian, if that's your thing.)

If you decide to give it a try, I'd love to hear about it! Boosts are, as always, hugely appreciated 💕 Thanks so much!

My Firefox addon got approved! It ensures i.imgur.com, preview.redd.it, i.reddit.com and media.tumblr.com actually send you an image when visiting links instead of redirecting to a page with a bunch of proprietary javascript!

Happy Friday, fedi! Version 1.2.0 of TumblBee is now available!

https://lilacpixel.itch.io/tumblbee

A few small but nice tweaks in this update! You can now exclude empty reblogs from your exports, and self-reblogs will now link to the exported original post where possible. (Also: some new goodies for those of you who like finding Easter eggs. 🥚)

nothing like finding a new blog with absolute 🤌 taste in American gothic art, and seeing some reblogs from an insufferable girl you follow with absolute 🤌 taste in dreamlike nighttime scenes & distant smeared subsets & birds w/gaunt branches to make a shitty couple days more bearable.. #tumblr

So, for all of the #django and #wagtail developers out there who would like to see more integration between the existing web and the #fediverse, could you all please take a look at https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/discussions/9732#discussioncomment-13650918 and give some support for this idea?

Looks like #tumblr is (again!) dialing back its plan to integrate with AP, so maybe this would bring some more interest into other alternatives.

Tumblr to Fediverse: "It's complicated" 💔

Automattic puts WordPress migration on hold to focus on user requests instead. CEO Mullenweg says they'd implement ActivityPub directly if there's enough demand though.

Time for the Fediverse to slide into those DMs? 📱

Miss Tumblr after leaving big social? Well, Fediverse has its own Tumblr, and it's called Wafrn. It still seems small and unknown, so spread the word to those fedifriends of yours who long for Tumblr.

At least in the short term. So if you're active on Tumblr and want it to federate over ActivityPub, there's 2 things you can do;

* tell Tumblr it's a priority for you

* join a service hosting Wafr, the fediverse-native answer to Tumblr, post your stuff there, and tell Tumblr you're doing that

spent a good chunk of the #Mastodon meetup wearing Tumblr merch while shit talking my former CEO, which while ironic is also fully aligned with the #Tumblr spirit of having wildly inconsistent standards and zero desire to rectify that
