Welcome!

[goodbyebird]

three_weeks_for_dw used to be a super fun time, with a whole flurry of activity. Let's bring it back \o/

✨ April 25th to May 15th ✨

Let's celebrate our awesome online home together!

Guidelines
+ Feel free to promote any activity you've got going for 3W4D, either in communities or hosted in your own journal.
+ As this is to celebrate the anniversary and promote activity at Dreamwidth, it is highly appreciated that content tagged for the event stays on Dreamwidth exclusively for the whole three weeks. (obviously nobody's setting the hounds on you)
+ Posts tagged with three weeks for dreamwidth (or threeweeks or three_weeks_for_dw) will show up in this feed :)
+ If you wish, drop a link to any content you post anywhere on Dreamwidth for this fest into this community after the start date, with a brief description of the nature of the content.

hurrah hurrah!

Bless you!

[ilyena_sylph]

You've got the comm name for the old comm a bit wrong.

[goodbyebird]

😬😬😬
I've been getting more and more excited throughout the day, which is pretty much the equivalent of my brain getting the zoomies lol

[muccamukk]

Oh! I'm excited about this! Do you have a banner to advertise it?

[goodbyebird]

Yes, there's a note on the banner post that we're free to edit. So I was planning to update those :)

Btw would you be interested in being co-mod?

[muccamukk]

I'll signal boost and participate, but I think work's going to be kicking my ass during the target dates. Hope you find someone <3

[goodbyebird]

Good to know <3

Thankfully I'll be off work so plenty of time on my hands.

[muccamukk]

Though could we change the style to something less tiny light grey on white? It's difficult for me to read even with my glasses.

The banner is so cute!

[goodbyebird]

The font is on my to do list :)

[yourlibrarian]

Glad someone is relaunching this!

One thing that ran in previous events was a post where people could offer to sponsor other people's paid accounts on DW. Is that being planned?

[goodbyebird]

That's not in my personal plans, no. I think with money being involved it would freak my brain out? *hands*

If you or someone else would like to arrange it, that'd be fine though :)

(in the past when I've run events I've sometimes done a random draw of participants and donated some points that way. Might sneak that in.)

[yourlibrarian]

Sorry, I saved this to reply to and then forgot about it until things started rolling.

I'm not sure how that would be arranged though given that all posts happen in one's own account so it would need signal boosting? But I was thinking of something like this: https://three-weeks-for-dw.dreamwidth.org/9498.html

If it could be promoted via the community itself I'd be willing to set up a post to get volunteers to both commit to sponsor and then another to get people to offer to be matched.

[goodbyebird]

The community is open posting for all members, so if you want to host it here you can do that as well.

But if your own space is preferred, promoting 3W4D events here is also open to all :)

[yourlibrarian]

Ok! I'll get something drafted and post it by tomorrow.

[scintilla10]

Yay, happy to see this!

[goneahead]

Wheee!

I'm posting poetry these three weeks over on my journal. It'll show up in the tag, but here's the first poem :D

[goodbyebird]

Hooray for more poetry ♥

Newb Question: Can I Subscribe to "this feed"

[arlie]

Is it possible to make the contents of https://www.dreamwidth.org/latest?feed=threeweeks appear on my reading page, along with everything else I subscribe to?

It doesn't seem to be a "feed" in the same sense as that term is used in the Dreamwidth FAQ, where the term refers to an RSS or Atom feed. And I couldn't find anything about the this type of feed in the FAQ.

Re: Newb Question: Can I Subscribe to "this feed"

[goodbyebird]

That's actually a really good question!

Just attempted it, and just got "You can't add feeds from this site" so unfortunately, no.

Re: Newb Question: Can I Subscribe to "this feed"

[bluedreaming]

(Poking my nose in here)
You could maybe use a feed creator like fetchrss.com to build a feed out of the page and then subscribe to that. However, entries wouldn’t show up in the same way on your reading page (since it would be whatever fields fetchrss pulled), so I’m not sure if that would be an acceptable solution.

Just joined and posted a promo at my DW :)

I love Dreamwidth! I'm really glad it's here, because my boycott of LJ is utter. Keep up the good work!
