Ah, the age-old quest for a pristine, chronological feed on Tumblr. It’s like searching for buried treasure but without the pirates or the map! Let’s get down to it: you want your Tumblr experience to not feel like you’re scrolling through a time capsule of posts? No worries, my friend! Here’s how to kick that algorithm lovin’ to the curb and bask in the glorious order of time itself.
First off, plunge yourself into the mystical realm of your dashboard. There’s a magical little gear icon floating around there—let’s call it the “Settings” button. Once you’ve clicked on it, you’ll find a delightful menu. Here, you will discover the option o’ the decade, dubbed “Best Stuff First.” Now, unless you’ve been living under a rock (or perhaps sharing your life with an honor roll student), you probably know this setting does not care about your need for a nifty chronological order. It’s like employing a chef who insists on preparing only their signature dishes while you just wanted a burger, plain and simple.
So here’s the pivotal move: turn off “Best Stuff First.” That’s right, give it a firm swipe left, as you would in a disastrous dating app encounter. This little change transforms your Following tab into a neat and tidy timeline where posts appear in the order they were created instead of the whims of a social media genie. Finally, the frenzy of disordered posts fades into obscurity, and you can see who’s been posting what (maybe even when they were still relevant).
And just like that, you unlock the ability to experience the satisfying sensation of scrolling through your friends’ content exactly as they shared it—no strange algorithms in sight. Say hello to peace, serenity, and perhaps a hint of nostalgia as you journey through your feed in chronological order. Voilà, now your Tumblr experience resembles an actual timeline instead of the mad shuffle of a disorganized sock drawer!
