A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Tumblr plans to make changes to appeal to new users and improve growth. The post states that Tumblr is currently difficult for new users to use and curates content poorly. Tumblr aims to improve how users discover and sign up, encourage frequent engagement, and boost creators' ability to attract audiences. Specific changes mentioned include updating the confusing reply and reblog system to make conversations clearer and removing duplicate reblogs. Interestingly, the post does not discuss Tumblr's plans to integrate with the ActivityPub protocol. Tumblr has had a turbulent history but has stabilized under its current ownership, though some long-time users may not want a more optimized social feed.


There's a soft spot in my heart for Tumblr. I hope they find their way and become a bigger player.

I still haven't figured out how to use Antennas. Other than that, Calckey has been a super great experience.

It's really easy although the instructions start "click on the UFO"...

So:

  • Click on the UFO
  • Click "Manage Antennas"
  • Give it a name and fill with related keywords, which can be hashtags.
  • All done, you now have a custom feed with those hashtags.

It's one of the best things about Calckey, that I've found so far but I am still exploring.
