This post from
muccamukk on how Dreamwidth today is different from Livejournal fifteen years ago is worth reading and commenting on if one was on LiveJournal 10+ years ago. I've also noticed that even after the original migration waves of strikethrough and boldthrough, Dreamwidth has never had the same feel to its community despite the similarity of the site itself to LJ.
This post by
melannen on how to foster community interaction on your journal is especially relevant in light of that. I've been so bad about keeping up with posting. Even back in LJ days I was never the host of a lot of discussion, but I discussed things in comments to other people's posts. I remember the halcyon days of cherrybina's LJ, the living room of Inception fandom!
I'm not sure yet exactly what topics I'd want to build engagement around. I feel like fan communities have never really settled in here, despite DW being the most friendly- and trustworthy-to-fans general purpose communication platform out there. And I'd like to bring back meta. If Leverage ever goes back on Netflix, maybe I'll do a rewatch comm. I'm also thinking a lot about cooking, randomly. Do you post anything on your journal that you wish more people commented on?
