Is anyone reading Dreamwidth?

Hello? Hello?

With very few exceptions, all the posts I see are either DW help communities or crossposted to a much more active LiveJournal. While I didn't expect DW to go all Facebook viral, I did see enough interest expressed to make me think it was a viable alternative to LJ. And yet, that hasn't happened. It's been a month, and I still have an invite code that no one wants.

So... is anybody reading this? How has your experience on Dreamwidth been different than that of LiveJournal? Would you still recommend DW over LJ? If so, why?

At this point, I can't recommend DW over LJ. I cross-post to both places, but it seems like the readers are still over on LJ. I believe most of the DW mania was to create a place of refuge should the new Russian owners of LJ completely foul the waters there.

Russians just bought a chunk of Facebook. It took the fall of the Soviet Union and the rise of Slavic capitalism for them to take over the world...

Meh. I'm not so concerned about that--it's a possibility, but it has nothing to do with my interest in Dreamwidth.
