First Entry.

While I spend my late teenage years on Livejournal, I stopped using it in the middle of my twenties. Ten years later I found out about Dreamwidth on a completely different website and decided to make an account. Hooray! Quite funny as I thought about the time on LJ earlier this week.

The system looks quite similar and it doesn't feel strange, looks like you never forget something that has been in huge part of your life for some time.

Anyways. Hi, I'm new. And I'm clueless how to find friends here.

Hi! Welcome to Dreamwidth! If you're looking for friends, try addme It is a way to introduce yourself to a large group of people and get friends.

Nice to meet you by the way. I look forward to chatting with you.

Amazing, thank you for the hint. We had such a com back in the days on LJ as well however I did not spend a single thought on something similar here, haha.

And thank you and thank you - glad I found you here :)

I went back to LJ a few years ago, and started using it again. I then went to 'add me' style communities to find new friends. I found I was added by some really awful people who would post naked picturs of themselves and talk about fantasies of underage girls. I was shocked to find LJ no longer allows you to 'report' those accounts, so they are free to post those things. I deleted my account and left, and I will never return unless the site has an overhaul and new ownership.

What the..? Alright. That's not the LJ I remember. Quite sad to see one of the first "social networks" (even though I think the word doesn't desribe what LJ is - at least not with today's definition) turned down like that. I remember the days when you had to have an invite code to join and something like that would have been unthinkable of. I hope there will be a new owner one day but my hopes are ... small :D
