Dreamwidth, pretty easy to post both there and here

Livejournal is back at their link-redirecting ways, apparently, and I see one comment that the fix from 6 weeks ago still works. Also, I have Dreamwidth invites! Come on over, the water's much more sane. :)

Thank you! I used the last one in the list.

So how the heck do you crosspost effectively? I also decided to hork a new identity over there (dnasquared)

[zdashamber]

There's a button somewhere on DW where if you click it it will automatically crosspost everything to LJ... I'll look around for it a bit.

Nevermind, I found it.

Is it my imagination, or is this basically the same exact UI as LJ? What's the diff between dreamwidth and LJ then?

[zdashamber]

It is a branch off the LJ code, using only the open source stuff, and adding more open source stuff. So yeah, pretty much like LJ. The difference is that it is run by a small group of known/named people who it is possible to interact with (so the crazy corporate stuff is less likely to be an issue), and it is much more possible to get heard if you want a change; they even recruit people to learn how to write the code so you can fix stuff directly. And right now it's smaller.

How do you get invite codes? And, thanks again for the code you provided me earlier. I'm really liking dreamwidth, even though besides you and shekkara, I have no contacts there.

It just feels better, somehow.

[zdashamber]

When I go to my profile page, at the top there is a group of links "Post" "Reading Page" "Inbox" "Account Settings" "Invite Someone" "Help". The Invite Someone link leads to invites.

In terms of people, karjack is there, though she posts here; same with carpe_noir. I collected some new people just for entertainment, and that's fine.

Thanks!
