Date: 2026-02-19 12:21 am (UTC)I think many of us use our own journals (and our circle's journals) in that way, but the amount of conversation depends on how much you post and each journal's subscribers. From my perspective, having a separate community for general conversation seems unnecessary, but I can see why others might like it.
You can search for communities here: https://www.dreamwidth.org/community/search
I found this one but it currently has no members and apparently was never updated:
https://casualconversation.dreamwidth.org/profile
Many other communities which show up in the search results haven't been updated in a long time, so you might have to try a lot of different keywords to see if you can find any active ones that interest you.

Date: 2026-03-07 11:08 pm (UTC)Do you want me to grant you access? Most of my posts are access-locked but I pretty freely grant access to people. You'd be under no obligation to grant access back.
I do not know of such a community on DW, but that doesn't mean one doesn't exist! I agree that most folks use their journals for random updates, and then people comment on them as they want to.
That said, there's a whole bunch of interesting communities around DW! I keep a list of ones I've found. Not all of these are very active, but some get regular activity. The latest updated list is posted in my journal, here:
https://althea-valara.dreamwidth.org/1267685.html
That's a public post so you should be able to see it, and feel free to share that list around to other folks.

But with every other social media site getting to be so anti-privacy, I'm abandoning almost all of them and putting all my time into Dreamwidth instead.)
