What Does This Mean?
Well known within Tumblr's own circles, such as a blogger whose posts get heavily reblogged or whose name fans recognise, without necessarily being known anywhere else. The phrase carries a mild joke about how small or niche that kind of fame can be.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""She was Tumblr famous for her edits, and none of her coworkers had heard of her.""
LORE & ORIGIN
No definition of the phrase was found. Wikipedia's Tumblr article describes the platform's reblog system, fandom blogs and viral blogs, such as the 2013 list of most viral blogs and a post that gathered over 218,000 notes, which are the kinds of things that made someone known inside the site. No dated first use of "Tumblr famous" is documented. The existing entries on tumblrina and ancient Tumblr cover neighbouring Tumblr vocabulary.
