It took me some time after Tumblr restored my account after last year unsubstantiated termination to start posting there again – first ones were Oppenheimer papertoys and at the start of August I’ve decided to finally post my Tatort Saarbrücken papercraft there.
Everything went well for whole 6 DAYS, and then my posts disappeared from site-wide tag search, rendering them invisible to all but my followers.
I’ve heard about this before – my friend sosooley (fanartist with a substantial following) several times had this happen to her posts and she tried out all recipes that could be found from users dealing with the same issue. For her – fiddling with post tags seemed to do the trick.
I dutifully tried out all the advised actions to no avail and as a method of last resort – wrote to Tumblr support again, complaining of the issue.
During 20 days it took them to reply – I’ve tried to post new content again and tweak tags on previous one to get my posts to show, but nothing worked.
Then, today – I got this in my inbox and I’m very interested in the implications of this reply.
