Title:
suggestion about crossposting from communities

Area:
crossposting

Summary:
If someone is not using crossposting from their personal journal, allow them to use crossposting with one of the communities they run.

Description:
If someone is not using crossposting from their personal journal, allow them to use crossposting with one of the communities they run. I know I personally would like to crosspost from my dw community to a community on lj, but I have no need to crosspost from my personal journal. This choice would be a great help to many people I believe.

Or, one use I would use it for is that I have a community on Dreamwidth for my fiction, but a personal LJ for the same. Currently I crosspost to them manually. It'd be crazy neat if I could say "every time I post to rose_in_winter please post the same thing to athyn.

But I suspect I am a weird and small use-case and that it might not be a good use of dev time.

Why not the ability to post from any of your DW journals or communities to any of your lj journals or communities? I know it was mentioned just how DW would know if you really run the lj comm you want to crosspost too...maybe require that you enter the password for both? XD

Communities on Livejournal don't have passwords anymore and communities on Dreamwidth and Insanejournal (?) never had (though of course here we can just check whether someone is an admin).
