Looking for a Fediverse Alternative to Tumblr: Loforo vs Wafrn vs Goblin vs Others? (lemmy.world)

I’ve been searching for a potential Fediverse-based alternative to Tumblr and recently came across Loforo, Goblin, and Wafrn.

All of them seem interesting, but I’m curious — which one do you think is better for recreating that Tumblr-like experience?

Or is there another platform out there on the Fediverse that’s an even better fit as a Tumblr alternative?

I know there’s been talk about Tumblr supposedly joining the Fediverse, but even if it does, I don’t feel comfortable relying on a centralized, corporate platform anymore.

I’d prefer to support smaller, decentralized, community-driven projects.

Do you have any experience with Loforo, Wafrn, or other platforms that could work for blogging, aesthetic sharing, and building micro-communities like Tumblr?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

I tried Loforo and there’s no way to delete an account and when I tried to email them, I never got any responses. I wouldn’t use that site. They do have a bunch of porn bots if that’s someone’s jam.

Wafrn isn’t bad, but it needs to improve its blocking function. However, it does seem to be in active development so I’ll keep checking in on it.
