You can subscribe to the feed like any other dw user and read their posts on your reading list. The format of the posts is a little weird because rss contains no styling information, but the images and videos seem to be loading fine.
The disadvantage of course is that they don't get direct feedback from you this way, so it feels a little iffy? But I guess for those who don't/can't stay on tumblr, this might be a practical alternative?
It is actually really easy to create feeds: tumblr natively supports rss, so if you want to create a feed for any tumblr, just add /rss to the end of the tumblr url and you have a feed: https://[username].tumblr.com/rss
