Want to keep your Tumblr follow list on the down-low? Well, you’ve come to the right place, my privacy-conscious friend. Social media can be a tricky game, and sometimes you just don’t want your friends, frenemies, or even your cat to know you followed that quirky blog about conspiracy theories and cat memes. Fear not; hiding who you’re following on Tumblr is as easy as pie—if pie were a digital setting.
First things first—if you’re using a web browser (because who doesn’t love a big screen and a comfy chair?), just venture into your settings. In there, you’ll find a specific little nugget: “Share the Tumblrs you’re following.” You can toggle this option on or off like it’s a light switch in a horror movie. If you turn it off, your followers (and the numerous prying eyes out there) won’t see the shady, delightful corners of Tumblr you’ve chosen to explore.
But wait! What if you’re on the mobile app? Don’t worry; Tumblr’s got you covered. Simply tap on your account icon—yes, that tiny little person icon, probably looking a little confused with all the digital noise around. Once you enter your blog, you’ll see a lovely little option called “Following.” This is your backstage pass to all things you’re currently following. Next, tap “Change,” and voila! You can now adjust your privacy settings to ensure that your following list stays as secretive as your late-night snacks.
The beauty of this feature is how easy it is to fine-tune your social presence. One minute, you’re sharing your most eccentric interests; the next, you’re embracing that mysterious aura about your online activities. Honestly, who doesn’t want to keep some secrets? In a world where everything is public, a little mystery can go a long way.
So don’t hesitate. Go ahead, enjoy the quirky fun of Tumblr without broadcasting your every interest like it’s a reality show. After all, your online identity should be as curated as your coffee choices. You can now follow those bizarre, niche blogs without the fear of judgment—unless you want to share. But that’s up to you!
