Tumblr has begun releasing URLs that have not been active in over two years. The whole process has been pretty confusing and glitchy, so I thought I’d make a guide compiling information about it.Īpparently, all of the URLs were supposed to be released at the same time, but this was too much for the servers to handle. Instead, URLs are being released periodically. People with inactive blogs received emails giving a timeline of when the URL would be released (if they don’t respond), but this timeline isn’t fully accurate since the URLs are being released in a staggered fashion. There does not seem to be any order to the time and day of releases, so a URL you want could become available at anytime. Here’s a link to support’s post about the process.

Click the top right corner to navigate to the specific Tumblr post. On the right side of the Edit page, you will find the Description section.
