Ah, Tumblr—the magical land of cat memes, aesthetic blogs, and those deep thoughts that have you questioning your entire existence. But sometimes, it feels like the platform is too eager to suggest posts you definitely didn’t ask for, and you just want to enjoy your scroll without unsolicited notifications about other bloggers. Luckily, turning off those pesky recommendations is as easy as pie. So let’s dive into the pixelated pool of Tumblr settings like a mini-explorer looking for hidden treasures, shall we?
First things first, log into your Tumblr account. If you’re too cool for that password that’s been bugging you this whole time, take a moment to remember it. Time to put on your serious face—or maybe not, it’s Tumblr, who are we kidding?
Next up, cast your eyes to the top left corner of your screen. Spot your blog’s profile picture? Got it? Click on it like it owes you money. This will whisk you away to your Profile page, where all your nerdy blog dreams are stored.
With your Profile page in hand, find and click on “Settings”. This should lead you to a land of options and controls that make you feel like the wizard you truly are. Now, scroll down to the innocuous “General” section—a treasure trove of settings waiting to be tamed.
Once you’re there, look for the box that says “Use tags to suggest posts you might enjoy”. This little gem is like the clingy friend who doesn’t know when to back off. Simply uncheck that box, and poof—your recommendation woes are gone! Congratulations, you’ve just reclaimed your feed from the clutches of unwanted suggestions.
And there you have it! You’ve successfully turned off recommendations on Tumblr, freeing your scrolling experience from the burden of “must-see” posts. If you haven’t already, treat yourself to some whimsy and bask in the joy of an algorithmic detox. Happy blogging!
