Title
Community Locked Entries On Personal Journals
Short, concise description of the idea
I request the ability to create entries accessible by only the members of a certain community, but for our personal journals, so leaving the entries opened or adding everyone who is part of a community to your friends list is unnecessary.

If you believe that your entry might get lost if you post it to the comm itself, how will people find it in your journal? They would almost certainly add you to their Friends list so they can follow you.
And if most of the members of a comm were to use this feature, people would just start adding everyone else as a friend, which means that they would give them access to all of their own Friends-locked entries, meaning that you would end up with less security. Now, when you join a comm, there is one step involved (or two, if you friend it), which will give you access to every members-only entry, but will not give anyone from the comm access to anything more. I see your suggestion 1) being a lot more complicated, and 2) lowering security, not increasing it.

My journal is full of friend-locked entries. Unless this person were on my friend list, they wouldn't see anything but unlocked entries and the comm-locked entries(if they were apart of that particular community). Why would they add me to their friends list if it wasn't locked to my friends in the first place? That would be quite intrusive. If I'm sharing pictures or something of the sort, that doesn't mean I want them involved in my personal life and thus on my friends list. Of course, if you have opened entries on your journal, then that's different.

No, because they wouldn't need to add anyone as a friend, just be part of the community that it's being shared with. Simply posting it to the community, especially if it's a heavily-posted-to community, gives it the potential to be buried under other entries. If anything, people would just join that particular community.

I don't think they would--after all, not everything posted to the journal will be of interest. In fact, there may only be a few things of interest posted there, so a short-term add would simply be annoying.
