Dreamwidth question

I understand importing an LJ to DW is fairly painless, in general.

How well does it cope with filtered posts (i.e. other than general friends-locked)? "Magically figures out which DW accounts equate to which LJ accounts and translates filters accordingly" would be lovely but seems unlikely; "keeps filter settings but requires you to re-define membership for each filter" would be OK; "sets filtered posts to general access", not so much.

I gather that there is a general trend to decamp?

I've just had a look at my journals over there. I didn't check every single filtered post, but I had a look at a few. As far as I can tell, importing a journal with filtered posts:

- Creates DW custom filter groups matching your LJ filters.
- Populates the filter groups with the OpenID names of the people who are in the group on LJ.
- Does not add any DW usernames to the filter groups.
- Keeps filtered posts marked as filtered to the appropriate group.

I'm actually curious about crossposting.

If you crosspost a filter locked post on DW, what does it do on LJ?
