Having grown up on livejournal, tumblr really was the closest in experience and culture to how it was then. reddit text posts were actually closest appearance to a livejournal post for quite a while but by the time that was added everyone were comfortable on tumblr, and following users in reddit were added even later.
Lemmy - if instead of aggregating links from community is instead only a chronological feed of text posts including picture in the posts, and only from followed users - and kudos were only number that does not change any placement.
But also tagging - tagging is really important the way it really is not on lemmy or reddit. Not sure if combining reblogs and reblog chains from tumblr can be added, but have that all and - perfect.
I don’t know what i’m writing - this is a ramble of unhappiness because tumblr just changed its dashboard setting less than an hour ago. And all signs point out to them messing with reblog chain soon which would make a lot of tumblr users unhappy, nothing else actually does reblogging the way it does.
Because the update
really is
going on well
hah. so tired. not expecting to spend 2023 rebuilding all online identity.

Lemmy isn’t really targeting that space, though Reddit had a feature that they could add here that would work hit some of your feature points: there was a user page that was like a sub owned by each user. In the meantime you could create a community and make it mod only posts, and that would be pretty much the same thing. Just no hashtags.
Mastodon does (by default) have a post length limit of 500 characters, but in all other ways it sounds like a better fit for what you want.

Yeah, lemmy isn’t really suited. only the surface level is similar - I don’t think whatever i want or build matter, anyway. I’m just going to see how it falls out and drag myself to whatever the key players go to if they do.
