» What are the official LiveJournal communities?

LiveJournal staff and volunteers use many official journals and communities to:
  • improve the site and help users
  • announce important events, features, and site changes
  • improve the site's documentation and text
Some of these communities have open membership so anyone can join and post entries. Others are communities with closed membership so only staff or senior volunteers can join and post entries; you may still add them to your Friends list so you can see new entries on your Friends page.
