Here are some comms I am in. Feel free to comment with existing DW comms to recc!

* Fancake - Weekly themed fic recs.

* Fandom Weekly - Weekly short fic challenges

* ONTD Creepy - The DW spin off of the Creepy spin off of ONTD. They've recently jumped to DW from LJ and still have weekly FFAs. If you like horror and/or creepy stuff, join us for FFAs on Saturdays or make individual posts yourself.

* Buckaroo Banzai - Of course I am recreating my comm for an obscure 80s cult classic. I'll run it whether or not it gets an audience, because I can treat it like a wiki. I also may be doing a big project that will make use of such info, and it's a good place to collect it. (I've not done set up on it at all yet, I just made it so I could link it.)

Comms to check out later:

* My favorite comm around here is Get Your Words Out. It's writer's support and discussion group with regular Word Wars, but they only open membership around the end of the year. It functions as year long challenge and the format works, even if it makes it hard to recc ;)

* Fandom Stockings - I love this comm. Around the holidays they hang 'stockings' for people so they can be filled with reccs, doodles, short fic, etc. It's a clever idea that makes good use of the way this site works. You can contribute with creative stuff or with non-creative stuff. It's no-stress feel-good fun. I am currently doing daily doodles so I can do more for the next round.

Since [personal profile] wolfpurplemoon encouraged us to promote communities that also existed on Imzy, I thought I'd do this as well. (I did make a post on Imzy itself but it can never hurt to do so again here, so here we go.)

I used to run the Sir Patrick Stewart community on Imzy, and I also run a Sir Patrick community here. I created it shortly before I knew Imzy was shutting down but hey, it's here, and it's basically the same as my Imzy community, with the latest Sir Patrick news and pictures.

It can be found here: [community profile] sirpatrickstewartnews

So, if you like Sir Patrick, feel free to join. You don't have to be a super fan or anything, it's a community for everyone, casual fans and not-so-casual fans, everyone is welcome and ALSO welcome to post/comment/participate!

By popular demand, I've made a new com for /cranky_old_fangirls that can be found here: [community profile] cranky_old_fangirls

Hi everyone :) I used to be kthxy on Imzy and I'm still getting used to Dreamwidth.

One of the communities that I co-led over there was /binding, a place to discuss chest binders without gatekeeping.

[personal profile] diybinding, who founded the community on Imzy, now created [community profile] diybinder to have a replacement here, yay :)

Come join it if you want.

The other community that I co-led was /messy_bullet_journal, and currently I'm not planning to make a replacement for it because of limited spoons and such. If anyone else feels like doing that, feel free to start it yourself, copy & modify any descriptions if you want, and let me know so I can join :) There is already [community profile] bujo on here though, which seems like a great place as well.

I wouldn't mind a DW theme that had an Imzy look to it...

Please feel free to make a post in this community when you make a Dreamwidth version of an Imzy community! Or if you find a suitable Dreamwidth community that already exists!

I felt like I was part of the company. Certainly made a ton of animations for them in the past year.

I'm still getting used to how dreamwidth works. It's a little strange but it's heartening to see so many imzy expats gathered here.

(we're actually at 50 members, but the Imzy bot celebrated 25 and then 100 :D)

Hi. I guess it's time to dust off my years-old but never-used Dreamwidth account. I was part of the From Eroica With Love comm on Imzy. We haven't decided collectively what to do yet but I thought I'd drop in here to say hi.
[personal profile] klangley56
Nice to see even a little bit of Imzy here. I am so going to miss that site.

And hello, Mr. Picard!
[personal profile] all_together
Hey all, we're TheHiddenOnes on Imzy, and we're openly crazy. We helped run Plurality and Tulpamancy, as well as a little personal blog similar to cloudedotter's, which mostly consisted of shitposts about our multiplicity. We also lurked in a ton of communities, and we'll probably continue all these fine traditions over here.

I'm sad to see Imzy go. While we weren't very active aside from blogging, I really wanted to get more involved over there when our depression was more manageable. Kinda ironic (like RAAAAAAAAAIIIIAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIN, etc etc).

ANYWAY, allow me to shove some links in your face and disappear between the world and the view:

Link to a FAQ on plurality for the curious

I was a leader of /tarot. Hoping I'll find a place to move the community and host our reading events. This doesn't look too bad! Hopefully there will be people willing to try it.

Welcome ....

Hi, I'm CBrachy, co-moderator of Bi Space @ Imzy. I'm also @CBrachyrhynchos@mastodon.social and keep a personal blog at www.bigeekfan.com, although I'm looking at how to syndicate that to my Dreamwidth, which has mostly been used for [community profile] fandomsecrets and archiving old livejournal sims2 stories.

Still trying to get my head around DW but hello to anyone who knows me from /lets_grab_coffee, /shakespeare, /cephalopods, /polls and also from comments on /sleepless and the LGC discord :)

When people left LJ for DW (back when DW was a new thing) I never migrated over because not enough of my friends made the transition, but since several of my beloved imzy friends are moving over here it's just the push I needed. I hope we'll be able to keep in touch ❤️ Don't forget the LGC discord server also still exists, too!

When I heard Imzy's bad news I may have panicked slightly. That means I have no clue how any of this works yet. It may take me a bit to figure it out. 

Um, hi!
[personal profile] squirrelitude

My understanding is that Imzy shut down because it wasn't growing fast enough + didn't have a working monetization strategy. Reddit, I believe, is still in the red, despite the huge userbase. Facebook is built entirely on analyzing the crap out of your activities and selling the result to advertisers. The one site I know in this category that doesn't suck and makes any money is Metafilter, which has a one-time $5 entrance fee. I don't know if that would scale, though.

How can a social site succeed, but without selling out its users, or becoming beholden to venture capitalists who will force such a sell-out?

Hi Y'All!

Hello everyone, it's mrpicard (same name on Imzy). Feel free to add me here on DW if you want to - I generally add everyone back! :) 

I'm glad we now have an Imzy community here - I hope we can all keep in touch this way!

PS: I'm still sad that Imzy will be shutting down. I'll miss the cute lil green Imzysaurus.
