Popularity problems

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.
