Welp.

This is very, very similar to Livejournal, but here goes nothing, I guess.

Jesus, this is exactly like Livejournal. I'm okay with this.

Greetings!

Yes, it's very much like LJ - except the owners actually listen to us...


One change you might notice is that your f'list is now split into "access" and "subscribe". It takes a little while to get used to, but I found it helpful.


There's a community recs post starting up, if you're interested in finding things you're interested in. :)

So what's the difference between if I were to say, subscribe to you, or grant you access?

I will definitely check that out, thank you. :D

If you subsribe to me, it means you want to see my entries - and you'll be able to see anything I've made public.

If you give me access, I'll be able to see all of your f'locked entries.


So, basically...

no access, no subcription: "Eh. Who is this person again?"
no access, subscription: "Ooh. This person looks interesting. They might be a creepy serial killer, though - so I don't want them to see my personal stuff."
access, no subscription: "This person is nice and trustworthy! But their posts are weird... ugh, don't want that on my daily reading."
access, subscription: "YAY! Best buds! Woo!"

Ahhh, gotcha. :) Thanks! So how did you stumble on my inexperienced flailings? ^^ You're being very kind and helpful. :)

There's this thing you can get to from the homepage: "latest things". It gives you access to recent public posts, all across DW. I noticed how MANY of those posts are currently newbies leaving LJ, and decided to be helpful...

:)

You lovely person, you. :D
