Obligatory Fucking LJ post
Dec. 21st, 2011 08:07 pmI'm not a huge fan of the new default comment page look, but I really wouldn't care one way or another if the damn thing actually WORKED. There are far too many reports of people having to go to arcane lengths to actually comment on anything. And it does legit make giant communities like kinkmemes really fucking hard to navigate. I hope they all switch over to DW (or apparently people are still switching to IJ sometimes?).
Anyway, Dreamwidth has opened up signups through the end of the month (ie, no invite code required). Importing is super easy (if somewhat currently backlogged), and crossposting is pretty easy. You can even do a ticky that posts a link on your DW entry to the x-posted LJ post so people can easily click over, and there is a little footer you hca have automatically posted on every x-post to LJ (see the bottom of this entry!). And word on the street is that they are setting up a system to do community imports asap as well. And if you decide you want to switch after open signups close, I have like a million invites, or you can get them at
dw_codesharing.
If you have a DW and I am not yet following you, I would love to do so. Please let me know!
And hey, here are the rest of the design changes we have to look forward to on LJ! /dnw
