Tumblr on the Fediverse, what happened to that? (feddit.de)

With the current reddit migration happening I've remembered when Tumblr promised they were gonna add support for ActivityPub "ASAP".

Does someone happen to know if there's any news on that? I'm wondering if this was just said in an attempt to stay relevant and lure in Twitter users or if they're actually putting effort into fulfilling their promise.

Additionally, what is your opinion on having closed source platforms on the Fediverse? Would you block them?

this is the latest info I think. I recall there also being a statement early spring that one of the concerns was flooding the fediverse with a different culture due to size difference. Cant find that anymore, think it was on twitter somewhere.
