I have flist filters on both sides, so with the recent move, I just removed people from one filter here on LJ and added them to my filter on DW - no entries twice, everything fine, and I don't have to "unfriend" anyone.

A lot of people on my flist had been crossposting already for years, and the number of comments on the DW side was always close to 0. Now that has changed, and a lot of people suddenly have more comments on the DW side than on the LJ side. So I have moved those over to my DW circle filter. But of course, the problem with the split comments remains. :/

There is no way to crosspost from LJ to DW - unless you use Semagic to post to both sites at once. But I cannot recommend that! I did that for a bit in 2014, and when I decided to import my journal from LJ to DW, all those entries were duplicated.

The only thing that really works is to crosspost from DW to LJ. You can (repeatedly) import your LJ journal into DW, so you have all the comments on DW. It will not duplicate anything, and in the end you have the complete set on DW like that.

I also found that DW was completely dead over the last two years, but it has really picked up again this month, and I hope it stays that way.

(The americans comm has always been active over there - it just happens to have a dedicated mod.)
