Made the move to DreamWidth

[ciphergoth]

I have imported my old LiveJournal entries and enabled cross-posting, so hello from Dreamwidth! It'll do until something better comes along. Rather sad to see that the imported entries don't include links to the originals, but I guess it'll matter less when it finishes importing comments.

Welcome aboard. :)

Could you tell me what happened to filtered entries, please, love? I don't plan on moving but I would like a backup, I'm just worried that all the filtered stuff would suddenly become only flocked or something.

Really what I'd like to do is import it all over and then mark it all private, but I don't think there's an option for that or a way to mass-private entries after import...

I haven't checked what actually happened, but the process as described was this:

- It added all my LJ friends to my DW "access" list. DW supports adding non-DW users to your access list with OpenID.

- It imported all my friends groups, setting them up so that they contain only the LJ users they did on LW.

- It then filtered the posts on DW in the same way that they were filtered on LJ.

I haven't checked if this is what it really did, but I imagine I would have heard the outrage if it had done something less privacy-respecting!
