SOS (save our socialization)--someone please explain dreamwidth to me

[bodyetal]

not the usual thing, but could someone explain to me how you find/form social circles on dreamwidth? do communities work? HOW do they work? i'm a zoomer who's too used to the tagging & algorithm economy and i'm kind of losing my mind.

i don't even need good advice, i'm just going in circles without feedback /lh
