I'm not very technically minded either but I know DW was designed to do that, just the way it was designed for cross-posting, in order to make it easier for people to maintain ties to both communities. I have, since 2009.
For people who, for example, lost their fandom communities during strike-through, DW provided a safe haven. Losing comment subject lines, another of LJ's so-called improvements, made it harder to have discussions, and impossible to do a RP community on LiveJournal. I'm sure that's why failfandomanon moved to DW. Dreamwidth is a safe space for LGBT fans. It's a safe space for political discussion. I'm grateful it exists for the sake of the thousands of Russians who moved their accounts this year.
And there are no ads on DW. I have a permanent account here so I don't see the ads but I know they're everywhere.
