This looks like fun, I'll give it whirl!

[fairyniamh]

Ah, if only I could draw stick figures. XD

I hope you find inspiration there.

Oh, nifty! I love artist communities, but Dreamwidth... Why does it seem like everyone is back on Dreamwidth?

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Not everyone, but I've had a mirror journal there for a while as a back up. There was a huge kerfuffle when LJ imposed new Ts&Cs which indicate they are going to clamp down on LBGT 'promoting' sites and any policital anti-Russian activists. It is well dodgy...

[reapertownusa.livejournal.com]

Ah, so that's what I missed. Sounds like Russia... I love you, Russia, but I'm still gay, I still love slash, and I'm still on LJ. I think I setup a Dreamwidth mirror too back when everyone thought the DOS attacks were going to kill LJ, but for some reason Dreamwidth and I never hit it off.

I reckon it's always a good idea to have a back up, so when I remember I'm updating my DW site. But DW is clunky, and also doesn't allow me to track enough journals - LJ gives me 200, DW only 20. And even if I paid, DW has quite a low limit on how many journals and comms you can track. I like to get my email alerts and so I'm sticking with LJ.

Now you've refreshed my memory about why I didn't like DW--it was the interface, and I definitely love LJ's email alerts, too. I didn't know about the tracking limits, though. Why on earth would they limit it to 20? That's certainly not enough for fandom fun.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

It's a ridiculously low number. I assume they are assuming most people want to use their friends feed page to keep track - well I HATE that rolling feeder type method. You miss far too much and there's no way to pick out what's important amongst the rest. That's why I used to like FB and LJ because they had proper email alerts. Now FB's emails don't work properly and I can't find out why, and I've only got LJ left that does what I want it to and allows me to filter as I need to.

oooohhhhhh

That looks pretty fun. Such a shame it's only on DW though. :/

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

If you have a DW account you can easily still post here and just link back to LJ from the DW com.

[sillie]

I know. It's more that I never check my DW friendslist, so I won't know they've posted something.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

You could just set up a tracking alert to email you, that's what I've done. I never check stuff either. LOL

[sillie]

Right. I never do that, so I always forget it's a possibilty. XD So uhm... now to figure out HOW to do that exactly. :')
