Tumblr Alternatives and Backup Tools
Dec. 4th, 2018 05:27 pm In addition to Dreamwidth, there is also Pillowfort.io (currently down for anti-hacking maintenance) and Wordpress.com
Wordpress has an easy import tool for those who need it to import data from Tumblr to a Wordpress site.

WARNING// The wordpress import tool only imports about 30g before it hits its limit when it comes to images and such. After which, the text may still be uploaded but the images are replaced with links that call back to tumblr and are thus, not really that useful. The only way to get around that is to have a paid wordpress membership (which many of us can not afford).

Another tool is Tumblrthree. This app lets you mass download artwork and gifs from any particular site.
Great for backing up artwork from favorite artists, not so great for the text. But that isn't being targeted AS much as the art (Still being targeted, though. THhre are a few rated short fic that have been flagged, despite only being text)
Nevertheless, I highly recommend it for backing up any and all art that you like
Reminder, we only have until December 16th until all of the art is DELETED off of tumblr.
Some artists are also already actively removing artwork and deleting their sites on their own, so it is best to grab it as soon as possible before the art is permanently lost to the either.
Artists and Artwork:
The glorious Merinda B has made a spreadsheet of Sherlockian Arists Patreons, kofi, twitter and other shops so we can know where to find them after the Tumblr exodus.

So this is artist patreons/kofi/twitter/ao3/shop info if you guys want to know where to find people. And let me know who is missing

PLEASE! If you know of anyone not on this list, PLEASE feel free to suggest it so that they may be added. It would be nice to have this accessible on Sherlockian.net, and that is easy to do with an excel sheet so I will likely try to find a way to get this smoothly integrated into the website and then ask them if they can add it.
Here is a link to the google form for suggesting updates and adding artists to the spreadsheet

Please take care with doing backup and Good Luck! <3
