This is purely out of interest, and randomness.
How do you read your flist?
Me, at least once a day I would scroll down until I see the last entry I've read before, and then scroll down a bit more... probably a day's worth or so, and see if there are new comments to those entries, if there are marked edits/changes to them, and read the comments depending on what post it was. Once I've done that I go back up to read the recent ones until I reach the newest entry.
But I don't think that's how other people read it... seems like some friends read from the top ie the most recent one, and they don't bother checking for edits and comments? Probably depends on how large your friends list is, I suppose...

Date: 2005-02-25 09:49 pm (UTC)During the day, I keep up pretty much the same way, always going back to at least the last entry I saw posted.
I do have a couple filters to help me keep up with things. I have one for GW writers, one for other fandom writers, and one for comms. It's just something I do to make finding fic posts easier.
