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'm actually curious about crossposting.

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

It's posted to LJ with the same security level.

I have a "fandom" filter on DW, and a "fandom" filter on LJ. If I post a "fandom"-locked entry on DW, it's also posted to LJ under the same filter.

So if Bob is on my "fandom" filter on LJ, but he doesn't have a DW, he'll see my "fandom"-filtered posts on LJ.

Yep, the filtering works beautifully, if you set up your permissions groups the same. And if you kick it off with an LJ import, it brings your groups across anyway. No more complicated than that.
