🤙 Tumblr ❤️ WordPress
Automattic, the parent company of Tumblr and WordPress, has announced that it will begin the process of running Tumblr on WordPress. The move is part of Automattic’s plan to make Tumblr more efficient and improve the platform since its acquisition in 2019. The migration will involve moving more than 500 million Tumblr blogs to the WordPress backend, making it one of the largest technical migrations in internet history. However, Automattic has emphasized that Tumblr’s front-end user experience will not change, as it loves Tumblr’s streamlined posting experience and current product direction.
