#reblog graph

[eggshellsareneat]

Alright, I think I like tumblr now.

A pun post crossed my dash, and I reblogged it with an equally bad pun in return. A couple of my followers find it funny, it's a good day for everyone.

That was on July 7th.

Virality on Reddit was entirely algorithmic. You could garner a couple crossposts, but the success of a post was entirely dependent on whether or not it hit r/all--the main page of Reddit. If your post does that, it's immediately exposed to 10x the number of people and immediately gets upvoted.

On my pun post, I get a couple reblogs. And those reblogs get a couple reblogs--nobody really adds any content to the post, it just gets a couple reblogs here and there.

There's a specific chain of reblogs that I'd like to focus on. The most popular post on this chain has about 25 reblogs on it. Half the posts have three reblogs or fewer. Five posts in this chain have just one reblog total.

But the reblog chain keeps going. And going. It breaches containment many times over. And finally, after a chain THIRTY SIX posts long, at 9:30 AM, July 22nd this morning, it hits a popular account.

99% percent of the people who have seen the post--virtually unchanged from how it left my dash--have seen it because it was curated by 36 different people. That's insane to me.

None of those 36 people know that they're part of this chain. They saw a post, reblogged it, and moved on. If any one of these people had not reblogged, the post would have a fraction of the impact it has.

And yet, after two weeks, the post has effectively hit the main page of tumblr. It was picked up, only because people liked it enough to show it to their followers. There were no algorithms necessary.

You really, truly, cannot get this on any other website.

i’ve been obsessing over these reblog graphs for an hour now. small posts looks like cute little noodle guys or crabs. but big, famous posts?  they look like little weird star maps. this picture? thats the first 400 reblogs of the colour of the sky post. can you imagine the horrors that could be unleashed if an astrology  nerd got a hold of these? I love it

I cannot express to you how much I love the reblog graph function from tumblr labs.

like seriously. it's fun for my own posts that have broken containment but it's like a fricken art piece on posts with anything more than a couple hundred reblogs

and you can click the "load more data" button pretty much indefinitely to make them bigger

look at that...it's a constellation...

is there any chance the reblog graphs from labs could be brought back?

Hey, @shittybraindrawings!

We have good news for you—YES! They’re back on web as of this week, and you can turn them on via your Tumblr Labs settings page. You should then see the little graph bubbles icon in the notes view on posts that have reblogs on web. Tap that icon, and you’ll get a reblog graph:

Click “Load more data” to load more reblogs to help fill in the graph, scroll to zoom in and out, and click and drag around with your mouse to explore the graph.

Right now, this Labs experiment is not as feature-complete as the old reblog graphs from a few years ago. We have had to rebuild it from scratch to work with our new web frontend. For example, we’re still working on adding the ability to click on a node in the graph to see what reblog that is, and visit it.

Thanks for your question! The return of this feature was announced recently on @changes—stay tuned here for more updates.

Best,

—Jon (Tumblr Engineering)

Reblog Graph Chemistry

this reblog graph for one of my posts was giving me déjà vu, but it took me a moment to place it

it's ethenone (aka ketene), C₂H₂O

so now i've filled my quota of mysteries solved that didn't really need solving for a while

the weirdest thing about the reblog graph is that it seems to have cycles in it sometimes. and it really shouldn't, like that doesn't even make a little bit of sense lmao

but it does and for the life of me i can't discern why

I am loving the new reblog graph on posts. I feel like an ever expanding fungal network.

I can load more

Genuine question I've never understood

How can there be loops in the Tumblr reblog graph? What do they mean?
