I a going through my emails, reading blogs I follow and the one thing that frustrates me is reading a reblog of someone I follow. So for example I follow Blogger A and B and they follow each other Blogger A reblogs something of blogger B, which I have already read.
Nowhere am I saying I dislike reblogs, I love them and have followed some great bloggers that I have found because someone I followed has reblogged them. I also know its not all about me. Because obviously Blogger A is going to have followers that I don’t and that hasn’t read the post of blogger B. Also there is a possibilty that I missed the post from blogger B and caught it because of the reblog.
But I want a button or tickbox where is says I don’t want emails of reblogs of people I follow.
I literally have no idea if that is even doable, considering all the codes and equations that would go into it probably not. But its just a random thought that entered my head that I thought ooohh I shall write that down
Of course someone is now going to tell me that is a feature available
Welcome to the random bollocks that happens in my head.
You are welcome 😉
Reblogs are a primary reason I left full-time blogging at Tumblr because there are way too many. I wanted some original content and posts, you really don’t get that much there. There aren’t as many reblogs here as there are on Tumblr.

I have never used tumblr, like I say I am not against reblogging. I love being reblogged and love reblogging, the thing that frustrates me at times is reading the same post a few times.

I understand what you mean. I have no idea how you can stop it either. Just scrolling past it, I guess.

Thats what I have been doing, but also cause I mainly rely on emails rather than the reader, it would cut down my emails by a bit

Yeah, I can imagine. Thought the e-mails were so annoying and wrong and too late (and too many) that I stopped that. Just the reader now for me.

There is a lot, but I dont mind that. I normally can catch up and if I don’t I am commenting and liking a few days late 😉

Nothing wrong with that 😉 I really like it when someone comments on an older post. Then you know they’re still online for a reason, someone might read it even if it’s a year old. Just because it’s an older post, doesn’t mean it’s not relevant anymore 🙂

I undid getting emails about any of the blogs I follow. I just scroll past them in my reader if I realize it is someone I already follow that has been reblogged by someone else.

I think maybe that is what I may have to start doing. The problem I found with the reader is I kept missing blogs

I have found if I go back about 24 hours each day I hit most of them. There are some that only post once a week or so that I sometimes miss but it was far better than the 120 emails I was getting every few hours.

I may start giving it a go in that case 🙂

Great idea. Why don’t you suggest it to WP and maybe they will be able to do something about it .
