Having been on DW for a whopping four days now, I'm still in adjustment mode.

I miss likes. I do. I miss being able to click that little heart. I know a lot of folks on Tumblr use likes as a reading list, and dislike when they're done (sending this insecure fic writer into a minor tailspin: what do you mean dislike? Did you change your mind?!? *grabs paper bag to breathe into*) , but the way I used it was to say, "Hi, I see you and I like/support/acknowledge you" to the poster.

However. The lack of the like button on here means I actually have to type out a comment to get across the same sentiments, and while it's more work, it's also more . . . satisfying? I'm actually talking to people instead of waving hi. I know there's that "memorable entries" option you can click, but I'm feeling like it just doesn't work the same.

I also miss the queue.

Oh gosh yes, drafts! I set up an IFTTT applet to crosspost selected Tumblr posts, but I'm very persnickety about how things look and are organized. Without the option to create a draft, I had to set the crossposts to private so I could clean them up, add cuts, select the right icon, and tag them before letting anyone see them.

Oh my gosh. I was just going to go through all my meta posts tediously one at a time, but that sounds painful as well!

Well, the IFTTT applet cuts out a lot of the grunt work of copying and pasting (and in fact, that might be an option for the TRCN), but it's really not perfect.
