Dreamwidth Questions

[bkdelong]

Quickies:

1. Anyone know how to mass find your LJ friends on Dreamwidth? So I imported...is there a way to tell if someone from LJ imported their account to DW? Or if someone who is a mutual friend on LJ is on DW? Obviously the latter establishes the mutual trust needed to allow DW to expose that info.

2. Can anyone find the "post by email" info on Dreamwidth? That's how I'm able to do my Twitter posting behind a Locked Post rather than in the open. I'd rather keep that locked. I'm looking for the email address and any code, plus the DW codes to put in the email similar to the LJ codes.

posting by email is a paid feature on dw. i don't see a mass import being possible, as there's no way to link the two accounts and many folks are using different usernames there than here.

There's an email associated with every LJ account. If I give DW permission to access my LJ account, it can see the emails of those people who give me permission to see them. Of course, DW would then have to have a "check for your friends via email....bleah.

I have a premium DW acct, BTW.

Still can't find the info on it.

asked on the dw irc channel: http://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/emailpost.bml?mode=help

i'd file a feature request for the checking-emails thingy. sounds like it could be very useful for many people.

Can you tell me what Dreamwidth does exactly?

From what I understand, it's basically an open source Livejournal - what LJ started as - with a team committed to adding features of modern social networks that people have been clamoring for on LJ for years.
