Remember when you first discovered Tumblr and you would scroll down your dashboard until you reached the spot where you left the day before?

Yeah, I remember doing that, back before I found out about…uh, what exactly is it that we competent people do instead? I’m asking for a friend.

There are multiple aspects to this post, I think.

“The day before” implies only checking Tumblr once a day.

“Scroll down” implies reading in reverse-chronological order, though that might not actually be considered strange or noobish. (I personally find the spot where I left off last time, then work my way up, making heavy use of the “k” shortcut.)

The primary implication, however, is that an experienced Tumblr user eventually ends up following so many people that they cannot keep up with their dash, and resort to only reading some of it. (I personally try very hard to avoid this, and have been known to unfollow or not-follow-in-the-first-place people because of them posting too much.)
