Dumb Question about the Cross-poster

[ex_beautyofgr925]

If I create a post on DW on my "access" filter, but cross-post it to another site (LJ), then it will effectively show up as public on the other site (and not be filtered in any way), correct?*

My confusion stems from the fact that I have allowed some users with OpenID livejournal accounts access to my journal. My understanding of OpenID is that it is a tool for cross-manuevering between sites, and that the access I give to those users is limited to the DW site, and not LJ.

*I realize I can set my entry default on LJ to a minimum security level of "Friends" and effectively limit the post to my friends list, and somewhat curb this issue. I'm just curious as to how cross-posting something to my "access" list and another site works out.

Thanks. :}

Crosspost filters

[cesy]

Theoretically, it should follow, i.e.
If you post on DW as public, it should post on LJ as public
If you post on DW as access-only, it should post on LJ as friends-only
If you post on DW as private, it should post on LJ as private

Exceptions:
If your default on LJ is friends-only, and you post on DW as public, it should post on LJ as friends-only.
If you post to a custom access filter on DW, it will post to LJ as friends only, i.e. including friends who are not on that filter. (This may change - the crossposter is currently in alpha.)

Giving access to people on DW (including OpenID users) does not affect your LJ friends list, so does not affect who can see entries on LJ.

I just checked, if I crosspost using my custom filters imported from LJ, the crossposted entry appears as just friends only.

That, I assume, is a bug, as I don't tend to use filters that much.

It is possibble to set a client to post using custom filters, I assume that's merely not implemented yet.
