If you’ve ever found yourself meandering through the whimsical world of Tumblr, you might have pondered whether you can slide into DMs from a side blog. Spoiler alert: you totally can! Let’s untangle the yarn a bit here, shall we?
First, let’s get our definitions straight. Tumblr gives you the fun option of having a primary blog and side blogs (also lovingly referred to as secondary blogs). Your primary blog is like your home base—the spotlight is on it like it’s the lead singer in a rock band. But what about those other blogs, your beloved side projects? They’re more like the backup dancers, still fabulous in their own right.
Here’s the kicker, side blogs can do almost everything a primary blog can do, but with a few snazzy caveats. You can reblog posts, follow other blogs, and even be a member of fellow side blogs. The fun doesn’t stop there! You can initiate social features such as posting, replying, and yes, you can send asks or private messages! So, the chatty nature of Tumblr doesn’t disappear when you click that “create” button on a side blog; in fact, it expands!
Now, you might think that using a side blog for messaging might feel like trying to order pizza from a disco ball. But no worries! You can absolutely connect with others. Just remember that when you send messages from a side blog, the recipient might not immediately know it’s you unless they’re detectives or familiar with your side blog vibe.
However, there’s a tiny catch. You can only send private messages if you’ve allowed it on the primary blog. So if you’re keen on sending those mysterious side messages, make sure your primary blog is all set to socialize.
In conclusion, dive into the glorious chaos of your side blog! Not only can you message others and engage in the vibrant Tumblr community, but you also get the added benefit of crafting and expressing your unique voice. Explore, connect, and sprinkle your Tumblr magic everywhere!
