Tips for new users coming from other platforms

[vriddy]

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!

Haha, I was using the browsing people's profiles technique until now. Thanks for the explanation! It looks like the Network page is only available for Paid users which new joiners might not have just yet, but I'll certainly poke around myself :)

Ah, yeah, sorry, forgot that free users don’t have all the access. I have a Seed account, so it’s easy for me to forget what features aren’t available to free vs. paid users.
