For those seeking out a federated and open alternative to Tumblr, Wafrn is looking extremely promising. It can speak both ActivityPub and AT Protocol, offers a ton of interesting features and customization, and focuses on making an incredibly fun experience.

Oh, I misunderstood, I didn't realize this related to Tumblr specifically...

Still, it might make some of the dev work easier, if they do end up migrating the backend over to WordPress.

They could do it on the back end and leave it as "notes" on the front end, though.

Switching out notes for a Twitter-like UI ruins something which made Tumblr Tumblr.

Comments on their post about it are about 99:1 against, but they're not gonna switch back.
