Hi flist,

Right now there are still many beta kind annoyances, that they plan to change eventually, like you don't get email notifications of comments made in response to you. But there are also design choices that intentionally differ from Tumblr that make certain fannish practices not work there. Like, that reblogs with any additions are deleted if the original post is deleted (but currently implemented in a somewhat inconsistent and confusing way depending on edits and comment settings which is also a problem), see this discussion post for example https://pillowfort.io/posts/37581
