Calufrax is moving to Dreamwidth

[nonelvis]

Our poll results were conclusive: you voted 3:1 to move us to Dreamwidth. So, on February 27, we'll relaunch at calufrax.dreamwidth.org, which is already restyled and fully imported with the LJ archives.

What happens next

• Well, I need reccers, obviously, including one starting February 27. Please sign up over at Dreamwidth! Tell your friends!

You won't even be crossposting to LJ? I don't use Dreamwidth or RSS, so no more calufrax for me :(

[nonelvis]

I can crosspost for a little while, but it has to be done by hand; unlike personal journals, communities can't automatically crosspost from Dreamwidth.

Each new entry in the RSS feed I set up will show up as an ordinary entry on your flist once you subscribe to the feed -- you don't need a special reader of any kind. That's why it's a better long-term solution than crossposting by hand.

You actually may be able to crosspost via IFTTT-over at het_reccers, where I'm a mod, we've gotten it to work from Tumblr to LJ that way, using LJ's post-by-email feature (which does work for communities) as the conduit. The only catch is that (at least from Tumblr) the formatting doesn't always hold up, which we've been fixing manually. And tags don't cross over at all. But it's certainly better than having to manually crosspost everything-or miss an entry!

Do you mind explaining how you imported your archives over to DW? We'd been talking about doing that for a while, and automating it would certainly be preferable. Thanks :)

Ohhhh, that's a very interesting workaround for community crossposting! Thank you -- I may just give that a shot!

Importing the archives to DW was easy, because the regular DW importer will import communities as well, provided the same account owns the communities on LJ and DW. Instructions are here.

Awesome, thanks-I'm not that familiar with DW, whereas at this point I've figured out most of LJ's tricks.

Just click on calufrax-dw and add it as a friend - you won't be able to post, but you can certainly read it.

Same here. Would have signed up to rec if not for the move.

[nonelvis]

You can still rec if you want -- just send me the recs, and I'll post them on your behalf. But if you prefer not to do that, I understand.
