But it's kind of like living in a small town instead of the big city. Yeah, you know everyone (not really) but all the cool communities are over in the big city and it can be pretty dead on a Saturday night.
I've pretty much always been a hermit. Recently pared down my flist to a little over 20 if you don't count the dead journals. I hang out in a fandom where all the active writers know each other. I can do without the crowds.
Well, assuming I can keep in touch with the friends I do have.
You can subscribe to LJ journals via RSS feed. Then their public entries will show up on your reading page (that's what we call an flist here).
For your LJ friends to read you on their flists, though, someone at LJ has to use the automatic RSS feed DW generates and create something at LJ that people can friend. And I think the person doing that has to have a paid LJ account, iirc.
Oh, ouch. So it's Ye Olde self-imposed exile then? I've been living in it for two years now.
A reasonable subset of my fandom friends did migrate, too. Still probably only about a third of the friends I had at LJ, though. I miss the communities most.
However! Dreamwidth is this close to testing the capability of importing communities, so that's exciting.

Well, if things get crazy enough to warrant moving fully here, I can only hope others will follow.
