dreamwith tips?

[smirkingcat]

so i read that a lot of people are more comfortable over at dreamwidth-
sadly i have to say i'm not one of them.
here is the stuff i wonder about- and maybe some folks on my f-list can sent me tips where i can get my information from over? that would be really awesome.

• groups - i have all my different things ordered in groups like: hp-fandom, friends, manga, general stuff etc. is there even such an option over at dw?


• style - i'm still playing around with the style in my lj (i cant decide yet and it's not always working and the CSS is fighting me) but i have no clue about the code over at dw- is there such a group (that is still active) like layout_lounge


• interaction? i mean i know it is getting quiet around lj (really where are you all talking to each other now on the go? i am so not on top of this social media thing and please dont tell me tumblr i will not get one because i don't like conversation by reblogging i want conversation by comments or just so for the fun of it) any tips- i take any tips at all!


• what can dw do that lj can't? like is dw in any way better than lj? and is there a special thing i shall totally check out?

all the tips will be highly appreciated from me!
thank you so much!

The one thing dreamwidth can do that LJ can't is post longer stories/chapters -- like, ~6000 words compared to ~10,000. Or so. :-)

Also, you can actually search DW without getting only recommendations for Russian accounts.

ok, that is the only thing i knew too.

and i never used the search function - i wouldn't know what to search for tbh

thanks for letting me know!
