So recently I've been doing a bit more here and there on various pagan communities or journals here on LJ. I've friended several rather interesting folks, and been friended in turn. I always feel a little bit sheepish about that second part, because I provide essentially no content on my actual Livejournal. I post about once a season when I'm in a ( Read more... )

While you don't really know, you can set up some filters. And then, if you decide it's not going to affect how you post, you can take them down anyway and just post like you always have - whichever works for you. But filters can't hurt to try, most people feel a little safer posting once they've put them in place.

I like reading your posts.

I like your posts too. Just put anything, I don't know, R-rated behind a cut and I will remain perfectly happy with you. :)

(PS. Religions are not R-rated.)

I only ever use cuts if its something really long or photos. If you feel comfortable with filters, don't want everyone knowing everything, then use them, they can always be dissolved later if you change your mind. It is always possible for people to just skip by something they're not interested in reading.

I can read lots of things, there isn't any topic I can think of I'd demand to be taken off of.

>>I think part of the reason I feel reticent about posting is that I'm not quite sure if the groups of people that originally friended me (acquaintances from real-life, webcomics, anime fandom, etc) are all that interested in what I might be babbling about on my LJ now (being a treasurer for the Pagan Student Union at my college, trying to be a totemist and an animist, recording meditations or dreams. Possibly relationship stuff, college stuff, and in the future, job-hunt stuff.)<<

In my experience, pretty much all human interests are represented on LJ sooner or later. If your topic field shifts, you may find some people leaving and some people entering your audience because of that; but you'll probably still have an audience as long as you post. The Pagan student activity is a matter of high interest for many people, though.

You probably don't need filters. Filters are best used for high-traffic blogs with several sub-audiences, or for material that you know some of your viewers don't want to see (like photographers who do ( ... )

My thought? Post however you see fit. If you want semi-privacy for some things, make filters.
