   Hmm. Dows Mastodon work as an alternative to Tumblr, for those of you who use Tumblr? Or is there something missing? :/

      @Angle Seems to be more of an alternative to Twitter, Tumblr is more long form blogging. I use both Twitter and Tumblr.

      @Angle The big thing missing for me is all of the embedded media and support for long, rambling posts that tumblr provides. Like @Kaelyrhn mentions, Mastodon is really meant to be a replacement for twitter, so it makes sense that it's not really made for blogging. :birdsite:

      In my experience, though, Mastodon has been a strange hybrid site, like if tumblr and twitter were glued together with actually good web design. It has some functions of both, and some functions of neither.

      @Angle that triggers some interesting thoughts.

      I haven’t used Tumblr since the old days but back then it was more of a complete blogging platform than this is.

      That said, using masto as a more full-featured blog is intriguing. With a little better rich text and embedding maybe it could get there?

      I’d love to have a blog with intrinsic federation features like this.
