flist woes

[green]

I miss some of my friends who are still at LJ and not likely to leave. I understand, you have problems with DW or you don't want to leave LJ because of the people still there. You might end up like me, ignoring the ones you left behind. Or, like A, you hate DW with fiery death hate. I don't understand that, but I accept it.

THE PROBLEM IS THIS: I'm missing out on your important posts! Until a few days ago, I only had 1. a2zmom on a feed (which doesn't pick up locked entries) and 2. ladycat777 tracked so that I get entries in my inbox/email. That's it! Today I added like, one more person to tracking, but there's got to be an easier way to do this. I have many more people I want to follow who are only at LJ.

So here is what you can do to help me. If you have a DW with mirrored content and I don't have it added to my circle, LET ME KNOW. I will add you gleefully. If you are only posting at LJ, let me know that, too. I will figure out what to do with this knowledge.

I know some people on my flist read both places. In order to do that I will have to do a mass defriending at LJ, so if I go that route and you get cut, keep in mind that I'm reading you SOMEWHERE. Probably. :\ I might cut some people because of fannish drift or the whole 'we were never that close anyway, woe' but please don't take it personally if that happens.

OH. And if, like a2zmom you have a feed over here at Dreamwidth, it would be AWESOME if you let me know so I can add it.

So actually the mass defriending isn't necessary at all, if that's a thing that people don't like -- I put people who are crossposting on a filter on LJ, so I'd only read the people who were exclusive to LJ there. It's been a while, so I don't remember where exactly you do it, but that's an option too!

OH RIGHT. I forgot about filters. /o\

I'll definitely do that instead. Whew. Thank you for reminding me of that feature. I never use it anywhere to read, only to post under filter. Which I don't do often anyway.
