I have not used it, but wafrn is supposed to be a federated tumblr alternative.
I'm trying Wafrn since you sent your message and it's not like Pillowfort, or I missed something important. It feels like an enhanced Mastodon more than anything else.
I don't know what to tell you, I never used any of those, but Wafrn is the one Fediverse platform that I know that presents itself as "Tumblr-inspired". Don't know if there are others, but this one's the most popular for sure. It also connects with Bluesky.
I never used Tumblr so it may not be a Tumblr part that's missing 😅. If I could describe it with things I know it's more like the child of Mastodon and Lemmy. You have communities (but without votes), tags, and personal timelines.
lol, I said this kinda jokingly in another comment, but you may actually want to try Catodon (disclaimer: I'm the maintainer), "the child of Mastodon and Lemmy" sounds pretty close to what we're doing (among others)
This is a test from my new account. Interesting software. im seeing some differences already. Mastodon posts are much better supported here. Although im having trouble finding "stuff" in here.
Ohh custom emotes!😮:fediverse:
I'll try it then :-)
we're also always open to suggestions, so if there's any particular feature from Pillowfort that you're missing, we'd seriously consider it, if it fits our direction. In any case I'd love to hear your feedback if you get around to trying it.
I wasn't a heavy user of Pillowfort (like I said I didn't blend in even if I thought it cool). But if I think about something I'll say it!
