Dreamwidth info post

[eponymous_rose]

I've begun crossposting from Dreamwidth! I'm not planning on leaving LJ anytime soon, but so many folks have migrated (it's almost half my flist - I had no idea there were so many of you out here!) that I really feel like I'm missing out just reading the one list. So! I did some stuff to try and auto-add everyone with the same names on DW as on LJ, but if I missed you, feel free to poke me and I'll grant you access and subscribe! I'm just eponymous_rose on DW.

If you're at all interested in DW, there's a fantastic post here that'll show you how easy it is to grab all your posts (yes, including security settings and icons and whatnot) and get them up on Dreamwidth. It's also incredibly easy to search for all members of your flist on DW and add them, and it's a piece of cake to set up crossposting so anything you post to Dreamwidth automatically goes to LJ. Pretty neat! If you need an invite code, I can hook you up.

Now that I'm going to be reading two flists, I'm kind of looking forward to having different stuff to read on each. You guys know my interests - can anyone recommend some Dreamwidth communities for me to join? Thanks muchly!

Oh, wow. Those all look fantastic (especially feminist50, with all those recs!). Thank you! ♥

How do you get the crossposty thing at the bottom of your entries?

[eponymous_rose]

There's a really great step-by-step tutorial here that spells it all out.

Oh, awesome! :)
Here's a couple of communites to check out: fandomcalendar, ladiesbigbang, scifibigbang and metafandom ;)

Also, I've added you here too, so if you don't mind I'll defriend you back on LJ, ok? This way I won't be reading everything twice. ;)

[eponymous_rose]

Oooh, thank you! fandomcalendar seems like exactly the sort of thing my disorganized brain needs, and I'm always in favour of meta and big bangs!

Also, I've added you here too, so if you don't mind I'll defriend you back on LJ, ok?

No problem! :D

Edited because wow, HTML fail. Ahem.

I really need to start using my DW account, especially as more LJ people are either migrating over here or doing the crossposting thing. Thanks for the links; when I get around to setting up this account properly I'll know where to go for help. :-)

[eponymous_rose]

I definitely let my DW account stagnate for a long time (I only got motivated to set up camp here when I did a quick check of how many folks on my flist had moved, and found that something like 70 of them had migrated!), so I know it's kind of daunting to set things up, but it really did only take me about five minutes. Hope it goes well for you if you decide to do the crossposting thing! :D

It's so nice to see you here! Still settling in m'self, but here's some I've come across that I found worth a look:
wtf_nature
dwfiction
september_icons
what_ho_chaps

Be sure to take a gander at lj_refugees for handy tips and friending memes, etc.

[eponymous_rose]

Oh, awesome! Thank you for the recommendations - I jumped in on the latest lj_refugees friending meme and wound up meeting a few people, which is great. And those communities all look very relevant to my interests - thank you!

fandom_of_one for rare fandoms.

followfriday, for journal recs of all kinds.

[eponymous_rose]

I do love rare fandoms an awful lot - thank you! I also spent a ridiculous amount of time clicking through links from followfriday - great resource.
