DW and the future.

[rogueslayer452]

Here is my DW account.

With everything going on and the uncertainty of things, I've decided to finally back things up there. I'll still be posting here for the time being since I'm in the middle of setting up and figuring things out over there, and I'll most likely be posting the same content on both accounts during this period (since crossposting isn't available anymore), but eventually I will be on DW entirely.

(Note: I have tried to import my entries, but they have failed/aborted multiple times, some have said that they've had the same issue with entries/comments, this seems to be an issue on LJ's end and I don't know whether or not it'll be fixed. On one hand I don't necessarily mind starting completely over on DW, however I've been on LJ since 2003 and would love to at least preserve the memories of nearly twenty years of being on this site. So a part of me is kicking myself for not backing things up sooner.)

If you have a DW account, let me know and I'll add you.

I added you. I am miscuartosamores. ♥

I'm going to add you there, same username and everything. I created it ages ago but I don't use it and I haven't figured out how to back up everything just yet :( If you're saying it can't be done anymore... damn!

This sucks, I really liked LJ.

We've been holding the fort for a long time, but I also think it's time to go. Check out the DW community c_ent for Chinese drama.

I've added you, I'm prowler_pilot

I'm sherrilina there too! Sorry you didn't get a chance to back up. :( I did it a few years back when the transfer to Russian servers first happened, and have cross-posted since...but still, I spent so much time on my LJ, it sucks to lose that and recent comments since the last backup. Though my LJ is already messed up because of Tinypic's downfall.

I do, same username. I don't use it though I have tried to make it look pretty and all that. I just never got a feel for it. I rarely check there. It's not home. We'll see if LJ really goes under if I take a leap. But please add me, I'll see that I add people back in the coming days that I haven't already on my list.

I'm also itsnotmymind on Dreamwidth.

Keep trying on the imports! Sometimes they get through.

I added you on DW.

I was also having trouble importing entries a couple weeks ago, then it randomly worked last week. Hopefully it works again soon so you can import everything!

[haebin.livejournal.com]

I added you. :)
Same name as here. ❤️

[koyaaniisqatsi.livejournal.com]

I added you, same username. :)

The importer has random working windows. I tried importing every day for two weeks and it kept failing, so I gave up. Then I randomly tried it again and it worked! So it's very hit or miss.

I imported my entries a few years back so there's a gap but at this point I'm figuring it's better than nothing. I think there are programs to download just a full copy of your LJ so I'm trying to find one of those so that I can at least have a personal backup. I've been on here forever. Losing the site would suck.

Already have you on DW so I'm glad we won't lose touch if things go south.

[giallarhorn.livejournal.com]

Already had you! I totally forgot about the whole LJ being owned/bought by a Russian company way back, but it might be a bigger thing now...

But LJ had been not playing nice with any other journal site for ~2 months now? I think the DW staff posted that it was basically refusing any/all calls from off sites for some reason, and no one from the LJ side responded to them so.

[violateraindrop]

I added you, I'm also violateraindrop on DW.

I remember when I first tried to import my entries in 2017 it also didn't work for a while. Hopefully this is also just a temporary glitch. I'd love to back up my LJ.

So far I couldn't get into using DW, but now it seems kinda more urgent.

[valeria-sg-1.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

[goodbyebird]

Welcome on over. Can't believe it didn't occur to me that lj would also be hit by all of this. Hopefully people can manage to import their entries if they're lucky ❤️
