Tumblr is not getting rid of the chronological Dashboard!
Folks keep sending this feedback in, I’ve replied to 108 in the last hour, so I figured I’d write a post. Please reblog this, thank you!
Rest assured, [tumblr] is not getting rid of the chronological feed of blogs you follow. For details, please see this update from Staff over a week ago.
We also mentioned this on Changes the day after. Please do follow @changes, it only posts twice a week and is the best way to stay informed. (BTW, a lot of you are blocking Changes, WTF is up with that?)
As for algorithms, we actually have several already in use, and those are the ones we’re working to improve. You can see them under the For You tab, and turn them on or off for your Dashboard via the “Include posts liked by the blogs you follow,” “Best stuff first,” and “Based on your likes” toggles in your Dashboard settings.
With those three toggled off, which will always be an option, your Dashboard feed will be solely posts from the blogs you follow sorted chronologically from newest to oldest.
If you have any other feedback, please use the Feedback category in the support form. Submitting feedback there is like a firehose directly to our developers and designers. (Please of course be mindful of signal to noise. I know a firehose is tempting to abuse, but the more nonconstructive feedback we get, the harder it is to see the constructive feedback.)
And, of course, please stop sending concerns about removing the chronological feed. We are not removing the chronological feed of blogs you follow, we never will, and we never planned to.
Thanks!
