Tips for new users coming from other platforms
I was recently asking about Dreamwidth tips for new users on my journal, and this community was suggested to me in the replies! Here to my first post in a DW community. I am wondering, what little tips and tricks do you have that make for a more comfortable experience? The kind of tips that wouldn't be obvious for someone coming from another of the modern platforms.
For example, I only recently discovered the "Track this" option to keep an eye on post with thriving/interesting discussions in the comments without necessarily getting emails for it. Love how this lets me participate in conversations for longer, or get a notice if it was e.g. a request for recs and someone replies later.
Thank you!

I did not know about either the tracking feature or that @ can be used here.
If anyone is doing a friendzy, go find some people who look interesting.

So you could make a filter that contains the accounts and communities that you definitely want to read so you don't miss anything, and another that contains all the other ones so you can catch up on them when you have time.
There are a few communities that I have filtered out of my default view, I think.
