I always read the posts, and have been reading since I created this account in 2020, I think this was one of the first comms I followed :) I do read and click through most news items, though I don't comment in either place. The comm is helpful to learn about updates and is the main way I do hear about them. It'd be a bit sad to lose the proper Dreamwidth comm, especially at a time when other fandom spaces like Twitter are getting more hostile, though I can follow the RSS feeds. There's something weird going on with the feeds where old posts get pushed to the feed again whenever there's an update, so the comm is nice to make sure the new stuff does surface and not miss it.
