Introduction

Hi there,

I’ve been feeling a bit fed up with social media. I posted a similar post on my instagram where I ranted about how facebook, instagram aren’t social anyone. You never see any post from friends, interaction is almost zero. I feel like the internet was also a much friendlier place 10+ years ago.

So I went looking for an alternative. I remember LJ from many years ago and I really like that format of posting. LJ is pretty old though, so this is a hopefully still active community. I’m looking forward to blogging about my fav manga, my art and my Japanese studies.

Welcome to DW, hope you enjoy your time here! <3 Friending memes are a great way to find people who share similar interests, there's a few communities dedicated to it. addme_fandom is one.

Hi! Saw your intro post, welcome.

While I hate to encourage anyone to use Facebook, in the interest of Truth, it does have a chronological option still, the Friends Feed. So you can see what your friends post, in order. Of course, if they don't use it, they may not see your posts, but hey.

Oh I didn’t know that. It might help a bit. Thanks. 😊

Hello, hello! I really understand the frustration and powerlessness of not being able to see what you want or be seen at all based on the whims of The Algorithm. That's why I ended up coming back to Dreamwidth as well!! It takes a while to find one's people here but the pace and attitude are generally chill and lovely. You might be interested in subscribing to anime_manga to read and/or cross-post to as well! :)

Hi, Instagram is also very overwhelming. Now that I’ve been here for a couple days. I really notice how much calmer this place is. I feel like my mind is a lot more at ease. I’ll have a look at that community. Thanks 😊
