How Do I Filter My Friends Page?

[cuddyclothes.livejournal.com]

I want to filter my Friends page so that all of my friends and most of my communities show up, but not ALL of them (communities, I mean).  It seems that the only default is communities only, which means I'd miss a lot of individual posts.  Thanks in advance!

That's possible and sometimes useful (I'm Bedawyn's comm journal), but it has its own disadvantages (such as juggling multiple identities) and can be overkill unless you also have other reasons to keep your personal and fandom activities separate. It's best to try custom friends groups first and then go to another journal only if friends groups don't work for you. With only one journal, it's still easy to set specific comms so they don't show up in your default view using custom friends groups, and the groups give you a lot more flexibility that an extra journal on its own wouldn't. For instance, I have one link to click that takes me to all my House comms, another one-click to get to all my Torchwood comms, one click for the Buffy comms that I used to follow... to do all that without friends groups, you'd have to have a separate journal for each fandom.
