Popularity problems

[ed_rex]

Not my popularity, but Dreamwidth's.

A whole bunch of my Livejournal Friends (well, maybe a half-dozen) have gone and done what I did a few years back - duplicated their journals here. Worse, they're now cross-posting new entries. Er, as I do.

So, my heretofore almost-moribund DW Reading page is suddenly a lot busier. But (which two exceptions so far), busier with people whose words I will also see on LJ.

It's not nearly as onerous as scrolling through Facebook, but the duplication isn't actually welcome.

Aw well. First-world problems, I guess.

I, too, have a lot of DW friends who still cross-post to LJ. Here's what I do to avoid the duplication problem.

1) Go to the Custom Friend Groups Page: http://www.livejournal.com/friends/editgroups.bml
2) Create a filter called "Default View" if it isn't already there
3) Put all friends into it, then remove those who cross-post to DW.

Thank you

That sounds like it might become necessary. Much appreciate the clear and concise instructions.

As one of those people—sorry, and same! I've had to do more scrolling in the past week than I have in years, and now I need to check both lists, which is a pain.

But at least people are blogging again.

At least!

Yup, problems of abundance are (almost) always better than problems of scarcity.
