    Okay… uhm… consider me out of the loop here: What is a “gimmick account” and how is the first reply related to that?

      You have to install them from the AUR using :

      yay -S tumblr-gimmick-git

      A gimmick account is an account that has one (or more) gimmick or bit that the account does and only does. So in this case there were two (unofficial) distro accounts giving support terminal commands to install something from their appropriate repos
