So, you’ve been stalking your favorite Tumblr accounts and now you’re itching to know just how long you’ve been riding the follower train? Well, fear not! The capability to track your undying devotion for a fellow Tumblr user is at your fingertips, and it’s as easy as pie—or should I say, as easy as scrolling through endless GIFs!
First off, gear up and put on that detective hat because here’s where the fun begins. Navigate over to your dashboard like the savvy internet user you are. Whether you’re looking for your followers or you’re that proud follower of someone fabulous, pick your poison! Click on the “Followers” option if you’re curious about your followers, or hit up the “Following” tab if you’re on a mission to discover how long you’ve been consuming someone else’s delightful content.
Now, here’s where the magic happens. Locate the name of the person who has your unwavering attention. You’ll see a button that says “Following”—give that bad boy a tap. Boom! The moment you’ve been waiting for flashes before your eyes. The date you began following this phenomenal human being will pop up like an overenthusiastic pop-up ad. And voila, there you have it! You can now bask in the glory of a specific date—like a romantic dinner for your trusty follower relationship. Maybe it was on that fateful day in January 2017 you decided to follow their blog, their quirks, and their probably endless stream of cat memes.
Now, if you suddenly feel a wave of nostalgia, or perhaps a twinge of regret about that one time you pressed the “follow” button too eagerly during a midnight scroll, do remember—time flies on the internet. Your digital timeline is now tangled in a web of shared posts, reblogs, and inside jokes that only an avid Tumblr fan could appreciate. So, there you have it! Next time you link up with a buddy on Tumblr, feel free to drop that date like it’s hot. Who knew a simple “I’ve followed you since Jan 17, 2017” could roll off the tongue so smoothly?
