multiple journals?

[maevix]

soooo ...

google told me that dw allows users to have multiple journals under one account with easy switching between them. this would be so ideal for my compartmentalization dream & would allow me to start writing more.

but i can't find it in the faq.

any idea where to find this info or directions on how to use this feature? is it even real? D:

also happy holidays y'all!

Huh, really? I used to use ummm what was it called... LJLogin? maybe? way back in the day... and when that broke I went to swapping entire cookie profiles... and when that became too much to handle (granted it was a pain to keep the cookies in sync) I settled on using Firefox containers (one per account), which is still what I am doing today and has its own problems. I thought there was something inherent to the login process these days that made this idea of simply hot-swapping which account you're logged into impossible and that all such extensions would never work anymore, but hey, maybe I should give that one a try.

eta: Last updated in July 2021 doesn't bode well. That's before LJ deliberately broke crossposting from DW in early 2022. This really still works for both LJ and DW?

Let me know if you run into bugs? I've got it on my extension bar now and I use it to log into this and my character journals without issue. Unless there's something horrifyingly wrong on the back end that I don't know about, it's been doing what it says on the tin for me. I'm running it off of firefox from a windows computer!

Well whaddaya know, it does seem to work. I can't get it to accept my LJ account info on my computer at home but I think it might possibly be because we have a Pi-hole set up and that tends to interfere with some things. I haven't looked into that further. But all's well on my work computer, which I use a lot more during most of the year. 👍🏻

Thank you for the Pi-Hole reminder! I've had my poor rasberry pi III sat around for years and I keep meaning to set it up, and then get a little intimidated by it! Too bad it interferes with LJ Juggler though.

Glad the work computer will do, though! Lovely to save a few clicks and passwords without also having to give up control.

DW works fine at home, I think it might be something specific about LJ. I can log in directly, but whatever the extension is doing, it just keeps spinning and then failing. *shrug*
