DW issues

[ashbet]

When I backed up my LJ, DW unfortunately tried to import my entire LJ friendslist (which is good, in some ways -- but most of those people don't have DW accounts), and that's why I'm running into the "can't have more than 1000 accounts in your circles" error that prevents me from adding anyone new.

(Also, TBH, I'd be leery of switching to a service that tops out the number of friends you can add, bc I do have quite a few people on my LJ, and am happy to keep it that way -- some stuff just gets filtered a little more tightly, if necessary.)

Ugh, it's going to be *fun* trying to figure out which of those 982 "DW friends" listed actually even have DW accounts under the same name!

So, I'm about to do a mass unfriending and then start adding people back -- I've taken a screenshot of my few friends who I'd already added as DW accounts, so if you see yourself removed and re-added, that's why.

*rubs temples crankily*

YOU CAN DO IT

I'm sorry your account is being a pain though. UGH. MAY THIS BE THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENS ALL YEAR.

[ashbet]

Thanks, hon! I hope so, too!

(And it's lovely to hear from you! *hugs*)

-- A :D

Well, if nothing else, you reminded me to clean up my lists in and around the web :D. You have spread productivity!

*SO MANY HUGS*

LSS over here, one of my goals for next year is to start selling my own beading patterns and also I got some fiction published for Christmas :D.

[ashbet]

I am delighted to serve as the Angel of Productivity -- nice break from being the Voice of Temptation (I'm a notorious enabler, particularly for BJD-related stuff!) *hehe* <3

Wow, congratulations! I'm so happy for you -- publication is a huge deal! That sounds like a nifty anthology, and I love the cover art they chose :)

Good luck with the beading patterns! I still really love my necklace and always get comments when I wear it.

*delighted squishes*

>>> Aaaaactually I'm going to need people to test new ropes/strap forms out for me. You like blue and green, right?

The editor is a class act too, it turns out. It's been a really great experience all around beyond the whole singing from the rooftops thing.

ALL HAIL THE VOICE OF TEMPTATION

OoooOOoOOOoooohhh!!

Yes, I do -- blue/green/purple is one of my favorite combinations (basically, peacock colors -- there's a reason my back tattoo is primarily comprised of massive peacock-feather wings!) :D

I would be delighted to test anything you'd like ^__^

That is wonderful to hear -- it's nice enough to be professionally edited/published, but working with someone you genuinely get along with is an extra pleasure.

Heeee!! It's been a while since I've heard that -- I need to keep working on getting my life back to a place where that's a more-common battle cry! ;)

(Partner of 7 years left me on Jan 1, 2016, so it's been a somewhat solitary year -- I've done a lot of self-work and have been trying to get back into a better overall headspace, including my customary spirit of mischief and good-hearted mayhem. Fingers crossed that 2017 is the year of all that work paying off, and the Andi regaining her bounce again!)

<3!

You piqued my interest, so I went huntin - looks like max circle population is a tiered-by-payment thing, 1000 for free accounts, 1500 and 2000 for paid accounts, which is why I've never hit that warning (that, and you're clearly more sociable than I am!)

I hope untangling things isn't too painful!

[ashbet]

Ah, thank you! That makes sense . . . and, TBH, I have a lot of inactive LJ accounts on my FL, or multiple accounts from people who changed journals, because I don't purge anyone from my FL unless someone is Actually No Longer My Friend in a major way (i.e., my recent ex.)

I've been on LJ since 2001 and have added people from lots of different communities/social circles -- I can't keep track of 900+ LJ friends, but I at least have my closest friends who post regularly "tagged," so that I get a notification when they post :)

(Wonder if that service exists on DW? Will have to check, when I'm done unticking all the checkboxes on this list of LJ friends it imported . . .)

<3!

[ephemera]

I think the feature you're looking for is called "Track Account" on DW - on the right hand side of a user's profile.

[ashbet]

Thank you! <3

*waves hi*

[ashbet]

Hi, sugar!! <3

[just_lori]

It's Lori, FunnyLori :D

[ashbet]

Got you -- thanks, hon!! <3

[ame_chan]

Still figuring that out for myself. Figuring out the "circles" and "subscriptions" thing is interesting. I went down from 300+ people from LJ to about 30 here. I'm hoping I find people/people find me, as I go.

Glad we connected :-)

[ashbet]

Me, too, sweetie! <3

[cinema-babe.livejournal.com]

I have the same name on both sites so I hope I'll be easy to find.

[bork.livejournal.com]

If it helps, I'm already 'bork' on DW.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

I'm cupcake_goth over on DW, too.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

I'm over there with the same user name.

[rorekgwolfe.livejournal.com]

I'm rorekgwolfe over there as well. :D

[tanz-fanatika.livejournal.com]

I just made an account:

[funnylori.livejournal.com]

I am just_lori on DW

[solstice-lilac.livejournal.com]

Same username there and same content; I'm going to be crossposting, I think, until I find a better way to back up my posts. I used "LJ book" to save my old journal ten years ago, but now I think there's a fee for that service--and if I have to put my real name and visa card number on it that further dilutes privacy...

[ashbet]

I really miss LJ-Archive, but the person who wrote it didn't keep the code up to date after a certain point, so it can't be used with LJ in its current state.

Backing it up is a good idea, as is making copies of icons, just in case.

<3!

[myriai.livejournal.com]

I'm Myriai on there too, I don't remember if I have you friended or not (I haven't touched Dreamwidth since like 2012 for my own posting).

[redbird]

I'm redbird there too.

[elialshadowpine.livejournal.com]

Ooh, me, me! I'm tisiphone there too, I've just added you.

[cryptaknight.livejournal.com]

I'm cryptaknight on DW, as well. I use it primarily for fic, but I guess I'd better do an import just in case.

[duchess-webb.livejournal.com]

Same as on here https://duchess-webb.dreamwidth.org/ :)

[cheshiretiffy.livejournal.com]

cheshiretiffy on DW, too

[nisaa.livejournal.com]
