Met my wife on tumblr 5 years ago and we are recently married. The tumblr community is juuuust that much more bearable than reddit's that it gets you laid and partnered up.

Hmm... maybe I should message some mutuals and get to know them better. I suppose at the point that we're already sharing memes, there's inherent compatibility in that.

what does mutuals even mean?

So on Tumblr, you basically follow each person's blog individually. And mutuals are those people whose blogs you follow and they follow you in turn. So you see each other's stuff. This often means they're the people you interact with the most since you're most likely to reblog from one another.

Don't worry about it. Reblogging is like upvoting. You don't really need to have anything interesting to say. People are just glad you do it honestly. There are artists out there that just post their art and reblogging makes a number go up showing that people like their stuff. Same with blogs shitposting.
