You just got your wish. You can soon use Tumblr for the Fediverse because it’s adding Fediverse connection.
Tumblr, with 472 million registered accounts as of 2019, is an American microblogging and person to person communication site established by David Karp in 2007 & owned by Automattic, that also owns WordPress. Tumblr permits users to post media to a short-structure blog.
Please don’t miss the fact that Tumblr’s parent company, Automattic, owns WordPress which makes up roughly 40% of the internet!
