Oh, the sweet symphony of curating your Tumblr experience! You know that moment when you scroll through your dashboard only to be smacked in the face by a tag that makes you cringe? Fear not, fellow Tumblrite, because muting tags is a piece of cake—or, at the very least, a slice of your favorite pie.
To embark on your journey to muting tags, simply click on Settings over there on the left side of your screen. Now, keep scrolling down (yes, it’s like that moment you decide to keep scrolling on Netflix until you discover that hidden gem!). Look for the lovingly crafted section labeled “Content you see.”
Next, impulsively tap that adorable pencil icon sitting like a sweet little cherry on top of “Filtered Tags.” Like a magic wand, this opens the door to tag muting wonderland! Type in the savory tag you wish to banish from your view. Maybe it’s #food that makes you hungry at midnight, or #romance that makes you feel all the feels when you’re just not in the mood. Type it, then give that glorious “Add” button a satisfying click. Just like that, you have conjured a digital barrier between you and the things that annoy, bore, or otherwise disturb your delicate online sensibilities.
But alas! If at any point you find that you’ve been too hasty and want to end the tag’s exile, just return to that same section, find the tag in question, and give the “Remove” button a good press. It’s as easy as unmuting your friend during a Zoom call when they finally have something interesting to say.
Enjoy your new tag-free realm—Tumblr can be a delightful place when you don’t have to see the things you don’t want to see. Now go forth and curate like the whimsical internet wizard you are! Happy muting!
