Oh, cool! Thank you for such a thorough explanation. <3 Yup, I definitely see the LJ posts on DW now.

"But since we've been importing content since 2009 it should exist here even if it's gone there." Good point. VERY nice...

"(although I've noticed that not everything that gets tagged with something on Tumblr ends up showing up in the tag feed -- no idea why."
Yes, that's a thing! Because tumblr staff believe it's helpful to skip some posts if there are many similar ones or something. Also maybe because users can choose to hide from search results. I know people do manage to run plenty of events on tumblr using tags, but I don't TRUST that system. :D Maybe that's just me. For Seasonal Spuffy, I asked people to @mention the blog instead. We had a total of one participant on tumblr, though, so I'm not sure how much people like that idea.

"So it would be better to submit links through an ask for reblogging)."
I hope you're aware people would have to mutilate the links. If tumblr recognizes something as a link, the ask won't go through.
There are submissions, if one enables them in the blog settings... I find them creepy for submitting whole posts, because the blog owner has complete editing access to the post and the original author isn't automatically credited iirc. But. They could work for submitting links.
Actually, I think the obvious way to send someone links on tumblr is messages.

Um. Sorry? I just started rambling at you about tumblr. I hope it's not a bother.
If you don't have an account you can create one now.
