Maybe some of its users will join the Fediverse? But where should they go, I don't think there's a federated Tumblr clone.

I never used Tumblr so it may not be a Tumblr part that's missing 😅. If I could describe it with things I know it's more like the child of Mastodon and Lemmy. You have communities (but without votes), tags, and personal timelines.

lol, I said this kinda jokingly in another comment, but you may actually want to try Catodon (disclaimer: I'm the maintainer), "the child of Mastodon and Lemmy" sounds pretty close to what we're doing (among others)

we're also always open to suggestions, so if there's any particular feature from Pillowfort that you're missing, we'd seriously consider it, if it fits our direction. In any case I'd love to hear your feedback if you get around to trying it.

I wasn't a heavy user of Pillowfort (like I said I didn't blend in even if I thought it cool). But if I think about something I'll say it!
