Do we know any more about the plans of Tumblr for when it will join the Fediverse?
Matt did say “ASAP” at the time. Start of July saying they’re still working on it, did he simply underestimate how big of an undertaking it would be?

    what stops lemmy.world from connecting to them and sharing the same content ad free?

    That’s true, I hadn’t thought about that, but I wonder if he thinks that maybe Tumblr isn’t popular enough to see a big loss in doing that, since at most it would just get more interactions from a community that wouldn’t have joined a proprietary social network in the first place, so the missed ads would have always been missed, while in this way he gains more “free” engagement

    About the porn, they could probably defederate from the largest NSFW instances at least
