After finding out that explicit blogs were no longer appearing in the master search, I checked both the blog specific searches and tags.
Neither work.
If you click any of the tags below my post you get nothing. If you try to search my site itself for specific content you also get nothing.
NSFW is basically now invisible on tumblr.
The only way you can find a blog is to either get linked from somewhere else, or see a reblog already on your dash, but even then any NSFW artist that uses tags is basically wasting time as the tags will not allow anyone to search your content. You basically become a dashboard feed to your followers with no search or tag potential, and that’s it.
Starting Dec 17, adult content will not allowed on Tumblr, regardless of how old you are. You can read more about what kinds of content are not allowed on Tumblr in our Community Guidelines.. If you spot a post that you don’t think belongs on Tumblr, period, you can report it: From the dashboard or in search results, tap or click the share menu (paper airplane) at the bottom of the post, and hit “Report.”
I just wanted to make sure people understood what is allowed too. Writers seem to be safe so far, and nudity is still allowed under certain conditions.
Of course, that’s still pretty restrictive so here’s a reminder that Pillowfort exists!
