Many Tumblr users will agree, there’s nothing better than checking your posts to see how many other Tumblr visitors have liked and reblogged something from your site. By far, this is one of the main reasons that so many people love using Tumblr.

Interacting with others is at the heart of Tumblr’s success. In addition to exploring Tumblr to find photos, GIF animations, quotes, videos, and music shared by others to reblog yourself, you can ask other users questions, submit to each others’ blogs, reply to inquiries, send each other Fan Mail, and even attend official Tumblr Meetups to meet — in person — other like-minded Tumblr enthusiasts. By the end of this chapter, you’ll know how to interact with others on Tumblr.
