There is this business of Dreamwidth. This post is not about my own posting habits (I have yet to utilize my DW account for regular posting), but rather about the way in which I follow you people.

Because I have friended many people both here and on Dreamwidth, I frequently become annoyed when I go to DW, as many posts there are ones I've already read here, and it is irritating to sort through them to find the ones I haven't read yet.

I hope to solve this problem with a poll. You are of course welcome to leave comments to this post, advising me where best to read you. Whether I follow you on DW or LJ, you will not lose "access" to my private posts in any way. However, I wish to only follow *your* posts in one place: LiveJournal or Dreamwidth.

And for the record, my public posts are still cross-posted to my blog, which is where this business began in the first place, almost a decade ago.

ETA: I have answered the poll myself for anyone wishing to confirm my own habits!

I'm antarcticlust there, too - I basically just saved the name, though. I've been frustrated as an LJ-er because a lot of my DW-using friends' posts don't show up, or if they do, openID aspect doesn't work because when I click through to the post, I just get the login page. This means that I basically only end up reading LJ posts, for the most part. I don't like having to log in to DW to comment, and to toggle between the two when I'm reading - I barely have time to read LJ as it is.

Until there is a mass exodus of my friends to DW, I'll be staying on LJ. This is largely because most of my commenting readership isn't part of the DW/fandom community, and so is unlikely to make the move, but also partly because I see parallels between LJ's early years and DW, and want to see how DW holds up over time.

My thoughts are basically the same as yours - I've mostly been frustrated with/annoyed by Dreamwidth.

However, it seems like there's nothing for it, so if nothing else, my reading lists will be organized!

Definitely let us know how your LJ/DW organizing works out! I haven't been able to make it work yet, so I'd love pointers.
