Frequently Asked Question #179
What is "watching" a community? How do I separate them from the rest of my Friends page?
"Watching" a community means adding a community to your Friends list; your username is also shown on the Community Profile under "Watched By" and its public entries are shown on your Friends page.

You have three options to watch journals (personal, community,

You have three options to watch journals (personal, community,
news, or syndicated) separately from the rest of your Friends:
- Use custom friends groups, particularly the Default View group;
- Remove the journal from your Friends list and view its entries by visiting the account directly;
- ?show= Add ?show=C (communities), ?show=N (news), ?show=P (personal), or ?show=Y (syndicated) to the end of your friends page URL to show entries for that type of journal.
- Community Entries: http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/f
riends/?show=C - Personal Entries: http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/f
riends/?show=P - Syndicated Entries: http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/f
riends/?show=Y - ?show=PC or ?show=CY: You can also combine the letters to show multiple types of journals on your Friends page.
