Oh Dreamwidth....

While clicking around deep inside dreamwidth's settings for this account, I realized that there are a number of personal journals I subscribe to and am mutuals with (and often but not always folks I know on tumblr) for which I have gone COMPLETELY UNAWARE of whenever those journals have updated.

Trying to figure out what went wrong.

For years I relied on the LJ and then DW email notification option to know when journals updated.

I have since learned this doesn't always work, especially when a journal post is marked private when published and then later switched to a broader permission for reading.

But there appear to be at least a couple of edges cases that are a bit funky with notifications on DW...

One thing is entirely on me though: I STOPPED using my "Reading" page on DW during all of the time that I mostly connected via iOS (usually via my phone). Currently on a Windows10 gaming machine right now, poking around, realizing the obvious. The oh. The oohhhhh.

Well. Either I might spam older posts with grossly belated comments or I'll just be more attentive moving forward.

I really do want to make more use of this platform for Reasons.
