Reading filters?

I really like (although I know some people find the adjustment difficult) the distinction between people you read, and people you want to have access, because that is how I have always thought of friending on lju anyway, and the unfortunate conjunction was just something I had to hack around.

BUT: some of my filters on lj were reading filters so that I could have separate pages, not because I distinguish between the people who I friend, and the people I actually read, just because sometimes I wanted to catch up on my friends, and sometimes I wanted to catch up on communities, and sometimes I wanted to catch up on syndicated feeds. Like, for example, you can go to http://brown-betty.livejournal.com/friends/communities and see just the communities I'm subscribed to. (I believe.)

Is that no longer possible on DW?

[livejournal.com profile] tipoftheday never really caught on, over at LJ; I'm not sure what it would take to a) revitalize that (probably a dedicated volunteer who knows how to shake out the hiding-in-plain-sight), and b) what it would take for something of the like to work at DW.

I think [personal profile] moonie is something shaped like a volunteer coordinator. You might want to bounce over there and share the Great Idea. ;)
