this a test of a feature of my automated crossposter. please ignore.

I'm gonna try to consciously relax my who-to-subscribe-to rules, which are currently kinda calibrated to who-do-i-follow-on-tumblr. that is much more selective than I want for dreamwidth since:

a) tumblr discovery is much easier. If I see your content once I will probably see it many times and get many opportunities to rethink 'should I follow them?'. this is not the case on dreamwidth and I should err more on adding anyone vaguely interesting and then pruning afterwards if I have to.

b) my intuitions developed for times when my tumblr dash was close to saturation (i.e. how much content i ideally want per day) and my dreamwidth reading page clearly isn't.

I made an explicit effort at first to follow everyone I vaguely knew from tumblr even if I hadn't been following them, but I did not keep it up and I probably should

success!

successfully set up my crossposter to do automatic archiving and to have an ignore tag so I can talk about stuff that I don't think tumblr followers will care about (see: last post, also: this post) without having to manually remove it from the queue.

next step is probably making it so it handles more dreamwidth-specific formatting more gracefully (user tagging, cuts, etc.) . and by 'more gracefully' i mean 'at all'.
