Using Dreamwidth

I've been thinking of writing more long-form essays and stuff, and leaving Twitter, which I rarely write much on anyway. After a frustratingly long convalescence, I'm starting to feel like I can be more active in life.

I'm also considering importing my old LJ entries into this journal, because I don't know how much longer it will be possible to get that data out of LiveJournal... I don't know if this is going to cause a bunch of people to get a bunch of notifications from this account or not. So, if you just got a notification from me... this is why.

I hope the importer still works. The crossposter broke several years ago because of something LiveJournal did (or allowed to break and then refused to fix) that DW had no recourse about. But it shouldn't generate email notifications or anything.

The importer appears to have worked... LJ-Polls don't transfer over though. Some accounts seem to transformed from LJ to DW links if the user has, I assume, also done a LJ import, so DW knows which accounts are linked... most user accounts are not transformed however.

Right. It creates OpenID accounts, mostly. If that user cares to do so, they can "claim" it so that DW knows what's linked to what, but few people ever do so.
