best stuff (worst) first?

sirussly:


So most people have heard about the strange “Best Stuff First” feature that’s been rolled out on tumblr recently. It’s buggy, inconvenient, and is a real problem for content creators who don’t fit tumblr’s pre-determined algorithm.


If you don’t know how to switch that feature off yet, here’s how. I got rid of that rubbish a few days ago, but I’m still finding that my dash is being affected - whether that’s due to a bug or because other people haven’t turned it off yet, I’m not sure.


But there’s something else you can do to ensure you don’t miss content from people you actively follow.


Turn on blog notifications.
See this little icon here? You’ll find it in the oh-so-usable tumblr mobile app, in the upper-right corner of the blog page you are viewing.

Tap that icon, and it’ll give you some options. See the massive red circle? Right there is the option you want.

If you’re not following this so far, I can’t help you. Go stare at a wall.


Oh look, there’s an option for desktops too! Amazing. What an informative post.

So, if you really don’t want to miss out on posts from your favourite content-creators, make sure you have you notifications switched on for them. You’ll be notified every time they post something - and if that is Mary Berry biting into a crumpet, well, that’s something you really don’t want to miss out on.


Finally, make the effort to reblog their posts rather than just liking them. Smaller blogs are really struggling to get their content seen at the moment, so reblogging is especially needed right now. Until @staff hopefully remove it as a default option, let’s all try to support the talented content creators we have on this site.
