A major violation of tumblr etiquette is reblogging posts while stripping the source:

{{Quotation|"The single biggest piece of etiquette would be not to strip out your sources. Reblogs with the automatic links back to the Tumblr where you found it are cool, stripping out those links is uncool. If you're posting something cool you found on Pixiv or DA or whatever, link back to the original source.  [[Trigger]] [[warnings]], cuts for graphic content, putting in text descriptions for images (since Tumblr doesn't make it easy for you to put in alt text properly)...etiquette there varies depending on the circles you run in. Some people are strict about putting in the descriptions to the point where it almost gets ridiculous, some don't give a fuck. Some warn and cut things, some will just throw all sorts of porn gifs and guro and all sorts of NWS shit right out there." <ref>comment in a {{source| url = http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/29566.html?thread=131926654#t131926654 | title = [[fail-fandomanon]] post about Tumblr etiquette, dated March 4, 2012| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200728212414/https://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/29566.html?thread=131926654| archivedate = 2020-07-28}}</ref>}}

Even if permission has been granted to repost, fans are instructed to search through tumblr, find the artists's tumblr blog and use those images instead:

{{Quotation|"stop reblogging reposts of artist’s works. stop reblogging reprints from pixiv, drawr, twitter, etc. regardless of whether there is a source or not. not all artists want their artwork to be shared in public without their knowledge. it can range from many different reasons: they may be anxious that you can be making fun of them, anxious that you may be making a profit out of their art. it may be because it is just plain disrespectful or they may be shy about it.

if you asked permission to post, put that in the description with proof. if they stated on their pixiv or other site that it is okay to repost then put that in the description. heck, even try to find the artist’s tumblr if they have one!

Like Facebook and Twitter, Tumblr also offers its users the ability to "like" a post with a single click. Here too complex forms of etiquette have sprung up around [[selfies]]:{{Quotation|"Likes are ok from pretty much any follower. Non-followers would be a little weird."<ref>{{source| url = http://realsocialskills.org/post/89275800752/scherbensalat-iguanafish | title = Social skills for autonomous people. — scherbensalat: iguanafish:... | archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20150403172837/http://realsocialskills.org/post/89275800752/scherbensalat-iguanafish | archivedate = 2015-04-03 }}</ref>}}

===Linking===

===Linking===

There are three types of "linking" on the tumblr platform. One where a reader links to a tumblr post on a platform outside of tumblr (Facebook, Twitter, Livejournal). The second is where the tumblr post links to another tumblr post (not a reblog). The third is where a tumblr posts links to content that is offsite. Naturally, there are multiple etiquette forms for each and they vary widely across time and among fan communities.
