 one of the strangest things about the shift from tumblr to dw is that when i make a post in all lowercase on here, it feels wrong, but on tumblr it feels wrong to make a post with proper capitalization

oh big same

For me, the strangest thing is not having a like button. So this is me hitting the like button on this post because formatting is probably the next strangest thing. I'm far more attentive to punctuation and grammar here.

Same. I've been told that memories are basically the same as likes but I haven't really tried it out yet

Memories

[igenlode]

There aren't any 'likes' (in the Facebook or AO3 kudos sense); you actually have to say if you like something, as in "Oh, I like this" :-D

Memories are bookmarks, basically. It's a way of storing and labelling specific posts that you think are useful and want to refer back to in future (see mine). They're publically visible by default, but they don't have to be -- you can set them to be visible to the owner only. They're certainly not a way of communicating approval, since no-one is notified when you bookmark a new memory...

Honestly bookmarking is the only reason I care about having likes in the first place so this works out nicely for me :)

I only ever had read-only access to Tumblr (and lost that altogether when they started putting in the extra verification screens after the GDPR business), so such subscriber-only niceties as dashboards and likes are a complete mystery to me ;-)

I know right? Something about journaling sites makes me take posting text more seriously. It's a different vibe.

[rosalinecapulet]

Yeah. Tumblr has an overall more casual vibe in terms of site design, probably because it's a social network first and foremost (or at least that's the feeling I get).

DO YOU!

As I say, your journal is what you make of it. Do as much or as little capitalization as you want!
