Tag filtering

Tag filtering prevents posts with certain #tags from showing up on your dashboard and in search. Whatever you don’t wanna see, this is a way to not see it. Here’s how to get there:

On the web

• Go to your account settings (click the little human at the top of the screen, then “Settings”).
• Scroll down to “Filtering” and click the little pencil icon on the right.
• Add or remove tags to your heart’s content.

In the app

• Tap your account settings (the little human), then the gear icon.
• Tap “General Settings.”
• Select “Filtering.”
• Tap “+New” to add tags, and swipe left on existing tags to show the “Delete” button.

Keep in mind that this feature is only as good as the tags on a post allow it to be. It doesn’t filter out all mentions of or underhanded allusions to a phrase, it only filters out posts that are specifically tagged with that phrase. All the more reason to be a good neighbor and tag your posts accurately and often.

It’s also worth noting that tag filtering doesn’t filter out advertisements, posts sent via messaging, or your own posts.

In addition to tag filtering, there are more tools for making Tumblr the Tumblr you want to see (like privacy options and blocking).
