For the "non-adult" content, Instagram and Snapchat etc seem to work very well.

Tumblr is owned by Oath Inc, which is itself recently acquired by American telecoms giant Verizon. They also own Yahoo! but who uses Yahoo these days? Yahoo Mail - only useful for that throwaway email address to give to porn sites :)

So what are the options now? Any other sites that are similar?

Go to Account > Settings.
On the right, you see your blog list (in case you have several), I just had one.
Click once on the one you want to backup.
On the new page that opens, scroll down and find the Export function at the bottom.
Depending on the size of the blog, i can take hours to complete, but you will get an e-mail when it's done.
Then you can download the ZIP file of the entire content.
It contains folders with Media (pics, gifs and videos), Posts (as html files), and an XLM file of your messages you might have sent.

This is pretty disappointing. Tumblr was great for finding unique and specific things that are tough to find on adult sites that try to cater to everyone. I was able to explore some parts of my sexuality (legal stuff only, of course) on Tumblr that I wouldn't have been able to elsewhere.

I'm pretty confident that this will be the end of Tumblr, I really don't know of anyone who uses it for anything other than adult content. It seems like all services on the internet are quickly becoming much more restrictive. Tumblr is banning adult content. Craigslist has removed their personals, even ones that weren't related to sex. People are being removed from platforms for sharing opinions that the owners or users of a platform may not like. How much longer until pictures aren't allowed on LPSG, or videos are censored on Pornhub.

Based on this comment I may have opened an account.

I think another service will fill in the gap, but it won't be the same. There are a handful of sites that fill in the CL gap, but none are the same, and none capture the interest of an entire city. It will be similar for Tumblr, but hopefully easier to replace.
