Dec. 15th, 2018 04:13 pmI'm here for now. Don't know what, if anything, I will use dteamwidth for, post tumblrpurge. There are a few modern conveniences dreamwidth just does not have, that will make coming back here frustrating at least; and at the most, an absolute deal breaker.
One: no searchable tags. Sitewide content search is available, but results don't give you the full post, only a quote. Makes finding the content you're looking for challenging, and it feel s strangely isolating, knowing you won't be able to reach other fans with a relevantly-tagged post.
Two, and this may be most important for me personally: no like, kudos, heart, or upvote button. Nothing for non-content-creators to interact with to show appreciation, apart from leaving a vapid "liked this" comment that just junks up the comment section and everyone finds tedious to both read and reply to (thanks glad you liked it!) People who aren't writers or artists want to be a part of fandom, too; but I feel like if you aren't producing or ostentatiously falling all over creators with praise, there's no place for you on the old LJ model. Tumblr has stoked a need in me for curation and dteamwidth does not provide.
Third: it's ugly and broken on mobile. Right now I can't even see what I'm typing; I have run into the form boxes and it's a fucking mess. Like I need to go back a couple sentences adds idit my post rn bit I can't even SEE it, let alone edit it. (ETA: I can edit the post after initially posting it, but what a headache!)
