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

These seem to be a bunch of correct heuristics; I'm doing much the same thing, but I never actively contributed on tumblr, so it's going be interesting seeing how I end up doing that.

(Also, everyone I follow seems to be from tumblr and still floundering a bit, so we'll see who actually pans out on several levels there.)

(The read-page thing looks interesting. I'll have to bear that in mind.)
