Dear people planning to move to pillowfort:

As someone not involved in the development of pillowfort but am a web developer, I think you should lower your expectations, but not for the reason you think.

Pillowfort is a baby. A newborn. A smol bab. If you were here during the early days of Tumblr, think of that. 

Pillowfort simply cannot be the immediate solution to your woes. It needs to be nurtured and cared for to become a mature and happy adult. 

If you want Pillowfort to work, they’ll need feedback, advice, bug reports, etc. This is a chance to make Pillowfort the Ao3 of Fanfiction.net. It’s not gonna happen overnight, you need to give it time and love and it’ll get there. 

If you don’t want to pay money to get into the beta, that’s ok. It will be open to the public soon enough and you won’t have to pay a dime. Their financial model moving forward sounds good (a subscription fee for super extra features), but even an Ao3 model would work swell for them probably. 

We’re living in an interesting time on the internet. Governments across the world are cracking down on content and yet community run websites are starting to thrive more and more. 

Tumblr once upon a time was what Pillowfort is today, but this time, let’s make sure Pillowfort can stay independent from mega corporations. 

yes this

most of the criticism i’ve seen of pf so far ultimately come back to this

is it an alright platform with a good community? yes. does it have a lot of potential? yes. does it have a lot of problems still being worked out? yes.  are the staff open and responsive? absolutely. do i recommend it? yes, if you’re willing to live in a house while it’s being built.

but it’s not a ready-made replacement for tumblr.  set your expectations accordingly.

ARE YOUR POSTS NOT SHOWING UP? THIS SHOULD FIX IT:

so as this post says, if you’r finding your blog is all jumbled, old posts popping up to the front, new posts not showing up at all, etc it is because of those posts being flagged and then unflagged. all you have to do is open them to edit and save them again and they’ll go back. 

i just wanted to make this separate post to add that once you do that all your new posts will go back to being visible at the top of your blog as they should be i just did it and now everything’s fine on my blog. 

PLEASE TRY THIS AND REBLOG THIS TOO

This is what I did lads. If your homepage has been tumblr’d, this is how to un tumblr it. You gotta edit every single flagged/unflagged post though. The thing is that it won’t show you its been flagged/unflagged so lol

To make this easier 

1) Go to your tumblr

2) Take note of the date of the first post on your 2nd page

3) Go back to the 1st page of your blog and basically edit every post that has a date that comes before the date in #2

4) Refresh your homepage, repeat

5) If u no longer have posts before the date in #2, you’re good

Any other personal blogs or sites will be using the name PidgePrattles!! I’ll still be posting on here for the time being. Thank you for reading, and I hope we can keep in touch through this possible exodus!

They’ll have to pry this blog from my cold dead hands though. That ain’t getting deleted unless they do it themselves (which is likely, since a lot of my first couple hundred posts were flagged as explicit lmao). We’ll see though!
