tags question

I have a question. I'm toying with the idea of starting a comm on LJ to *actively* help people move (provide tech support, correct misconceptions, and move people *anywhere*, not just InJ, but Wordpress, etc). Sort of like popping a six-pack and getting your friends over to help move.

Anyway, I can wrap my head around everything (icons, commenting, setting up feeds) ... except tags. When I moved, the tags didn't move with me. At 4,000 LJ entries, that's no small thing. Is there a method of moving that will take the tags along too?

BTW if you'd like to form this kind of comm, please do. I have little tech knowledge myself. And increasingly the people left are not hold-outs, they're *stranded*. Also someone who speaks Russian might be an idea -- it seems silly to be separated from a population of bloggers who're living in an even more dire political situation.

Alas, not those. That I know of. My comments are *backed up*, which is okay for me because not everyone on LJ is present on InJ anyway, and their usefulness is in preserving the conversation. That may have to be counted as an acceptable loss.

Tags, however... most people who can't move need them to find things, so that's journal functionality at its most basic.

Ah, and here I was getting all excited. Oh well. I've got my whole journal archived as well, so it's not really a problem... the only thing keeping me from deleting my LJ at this point is that some people on my f-list have anonymous commenting disabled.

And I didn't start using tags until I moved to IJ anyway... well, I used them, but it was very sporadic and didn't actually help me find things. But I can see how that would be useful for someone who already had a tagging "system".

Can't you comment by signing into InJ? And using the OpenID thing?

LJ treats OpenID the same as anonymous comments.

It does. ):

Well, I think you can comment on a locked post if the user has friended the OpenID account - but they still have to have anonymous comments enabled.

Which seems really silly, but - whatever.

I wrote a big long post about that the other day, actually.
