A Points Donation challenge is underway as part of [community profile] 3weeks4dreamwidth : we need people who would like paid features to step forward! If you want to donate points, go to this post. If you want to receive DW paid services, go to this one!

Comments to the above posts are screened. Leave a comment indicating you'd like some Dreamwidth points, or mention what you'd specifically like the points for. (That way I can allot points based on desired purchases). If you want to donate, please indicate the amount you'd like to offer. The challenge ends May 14

Remember, paid features support Dreamwidth financially. Having giftees means we add money to Dreamwidth's coffers.

Please also promote this offer in your account and communities if you're not interested in paid features yourself!

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

Tumblr is precarious due to staff layoffs, and people are reporting outages. As a result, there's a wave of new users coming into Dreamwidth. [personal profile] soc_puppet has been posting tutorials for former Tumblr users moving to Dreamwidth.

[community profile] newcomers is a new community for people who are just getting started on Dreamwidth, in the tradition of [community profile] twitter_refugees and [community profile] reddit_refugees. This community supports former users of other platforms who are moving to Dreamwidth because their previous platform has become untenable or has closed. As such, it will increase activity with each wave of new users, in hopes of helping them get settled in Dreamwidth so they want to stick around. It also serves previous users returning after a long hiatus, people who want to do more with a Dreamwidth blog that was only intermittent, or anyone else who wants help connecting and figuring out how to use this venue.

[personal profile] ysabetwordsmith posting in [site community profile] dw_community_promo
[community profile] goals_on_dw is a new community for people who like goals and goal setting. A key focus will be New Year's resolutions, that being among the most popular contexts for such activities. Although the most common time is January 1, "new year" can also refer to other calendars or cultures, whatever works for you. Alternatively, just pick a time that works for you and go for it. You can introduce yourself or make new friends here.

We will talk about different goal systems, pros and cons of resolutions, arts and crafts for tracking goals, human psychology, and more. You can share your resolutions or other goals. There will be check-in posts in January for folks to talk about their accomplishments. The community is warming up as more people post things!

2025 New Year's Resolutions and Other Goals is the guide post for this years goal-setting activities.
For more details on relevant topics, see "Things You Can Talk About Here."
