HOW DID YOU GET REPLIES
Anonymous
lies:
click xkit button / go to other tab / scroll to bottom to xkit editor / hit update
hit new extension
name it comments
copy this code
delete all of this
paste the code
save extension
now go back to tumblr:) you have replies back!
If you are using XKit, this does indeed more or less work. It gives you a reply button back at the bottom of original posts by the people you follow, and the reply you enter gets added to the notes on the post like the old feature did.
Possible shortcomings:
- It looks as if you only get to enter one reply. The behavior of the original reply feature where you could enter multiple replies does not appear to be supported. Whichever reply you enter first is the one you get.
- I’m guessing that this relies on Tumblr maintaining support for the display of replies in the notes. Since they currently support that for the display of legacy replies (that is, those made before the Great Upfuckery of Reply Removal), it seems possible they’ll maintain that going forward.
- On the other paw, there’s nothing stopping them from breaking the feature tomorrow, an act that would be consistent with @staff‘s established M.O.
- This is only useful on the desktop. I’m not sure if there’s a version of this available via the XKit mobile app, which I haven’t used in a while due to its slower performance compared to the otherwise-much-derided Tumblr mobile app. Maybe I should try the XKit mobile app again?
Anyway, there it is. I will now be going back to being an annoyingly prolific replier to the original posts of those I follow. Thanks, @new-xkit-extension!

:)
EDIT: Forgot to mention, that post has a link to install it in Chrome that won’t work because it’s not in the Extension Store; it’ll be disabled soon after installation. If you’re on Chrome, look up “New XKit” and install that!
(Seems the ask tag input box isn’t showing up either… Hope it’ll be fixed soon!
agenderjoshuakiryuu: thanks for the heads-up about OC Reply!)

Well, since One-Click Reply doesn’t seem to be working, chiptunesoprano, I guess new!Xkit is 95% functional? haha
But yeah, so far so good; just a few of the extensions that were updated because Tumblr was haven’t been appropriately updated (like the scroll-to-bottom one still being a huge button). Do note that you’ll lose anything in your Outbox if you have that extension, so do what I didn’t do and make sure you save anything valuable. XD; (Also, using Xcloud as a backup’s supposed to help?)

I CAN FINALLY SHUFFLE MY QUEUE AGAIN
