Well, so as the thing says, I've updated the software a lot, comissioned an artist for a logo and now is not a hell to install.

What differences does this have over Lemmy?

Edit: I never actually used Tumbler

Tumblr is a blogging experience that's similar to Twitter, but more focused on the user itself than on the central feed.

You have your blogs and you post there. Yes, you can have many blogs.
There's global feeds with posts from all users, potentially including yours.
Posts can have non-intrusive hashtags, meaning they are not #partOfThePost, but in a separate, smaller, dedicated section of the post.
You can't post stuff to someone else's blog, but you can comment on their posts. Comments are tiny next to the post.
You can quote posts, but that makes a duplicate in a blockquote rather than linking to the original post like Twitter

Like the title says, it's meant to be a Tumblr-esque experience.

Tumblr is short-form blogging platform, inspired by tumbleblogs, which were a thing back in the day (another example of Big Tech lifting an idea and then walling it off). So it's like micro-blogging but without the word limit, so you can throw out a thought or a picture or a video, or go into greater detail if the mood took you. On Tumblr people would tend to have a few on different topics.

I much preferred it to Twitter as it felt a lot more free-form but usually focused on a topic.
