newcomerscrosspost from personal journal at request of ysabetwordsmith . :)
one ability which might miss here is reblog - or rechost , if so prefer . nothing is quite like that here , but these ideas might help .
1. copy-paste and host on personal journal .
but whoa there , stop and hold on ! yeah , do not do this without clear and explicit permission . if something is behind access filter , then journal owner want this to stay there , clearly .
worth mention this is also not necessarily common behaviour - tend to be exception , not norm .
but say permission acquire , OK .
this will be of course , any other normal entry on page . will show on reading pages unless explicitly turn off , have ability to tag to personal conventions , so on and so forth .
there is side effect that this content will not disappear even if original journal owner do - that might be nice if some tragic digital accident wipe account , but become thorn in side if actually want to delete .
so is there another way ? well .
2. make entry with link to original post .
again , if something is behind access filter , then journal owner want this to stay there - but at least in this case , post would still be behind lock . still , probably ask to do this if post is not already in public eye .
one benefit is this give more opportunity to contribute thoughts and comments as part of share - after all , want people to click link , right ? so should probably explain why like so much !
again , this have same benefits of any other normal journal entry .
and something else , too :
3. memories .
memories feature is nice . there is more limit on tags here , so probably will not have full hierarchy . these also will not show up in reading pages of followers .
however , these might be easier to browse , as will almost certainly have shorter list of tags than full journal . and while memory tags have certain limits , titles can contain information too .
unfortunately there is no way to directly give long form comments on memories , but this lead nicely into ...
4. combination strategy !
memories do not just apply to posts from other journals . can choose to make memories from personal posts , and as well from posts that generate in RSS feed accounts .
( important caveat : RSS feed posts will eventually expire - so this choice is not great for longevity , but might work if expect will only need memory temporarily , such as event announcement from off-site . hat tip totropicsbear ! )
that in mind , might choose to share video or article link as regular journal post , with unique tag like " gallery " so people can easily view - or even split into hierarchy to get more specific .
but if that piece really stand out , and want people to definitely see this , could choose to put post in memories . this way , someone would not need to go through whole tag list to find correct tag , and then look through tag to find that specific piece .
memories can be smaller , more specific list of curations , in essence !
none of this is really perfect standin replacement , but , hope these things might help . :)

Just a caveat though; posts in feed accounts disappear after a while. They're not permanently available on Dreamwidth. #2 is probably the best option for keeping track of posts from non-Dreamwidth places.
