Got any Follow Friday-related posts to share this week? Comment here with the link(s).

Here's the plan: every Friday, let's recommend some people and/or communities to follow on Dreamwidth. That's it. No complicated rules, no "pass this on to 7.328 friends or your cat will die". Just introduce us to some new things to read.

Done!

Today's theme is "journaling."

Nice! Thank you for this list. I wonder if an effort to promote and post to journalmemes would be worthwhile. I've seen multiple people say they want to be active on Dreamwidth but don't know what to write about, and they're always on the lookout for questions list like that... I will attempt to signal boost and see!

*bow, flourish* Happy to be of service.

That seems likely.

See also friending_memes. There have been a handful of communities that offer daily or weekly prompts, too. Me, I like to find lists of questions or tips online, like my current ones are deep questions and landrace gardening.

I see this a lot too.

I recently learned about beautifulmechanical, a music rec/sharing community.

Thank you!

[ysabetwordsmith]

I have saved this in my list of active communities.

Thank you for putting those together!

You're welcome. It's so hard to find active communities even with the search function, I figure that making lists will help more people find them, which boosts activity on Dreamwidth.

Definitely! There's so much out there but it can be so hard to find.
