I'm just going to assume I'm not the only one who didn't know this neat LJ trick (despite hanging out on LJ for over three years now *cough*).

If you have a lot of communities on your friendslist, you can make filters to exclude or include them, so your friendslist won't be so cluttered. I never bothered with that, because making filters seemed like a lot of work.

BUT. You can also just add /?show=P or /?show=C to your friendslist URL.

- with /?show=P, you only see personal journals.
- with /?show=C, you only see communities.

Example: http://marycrawford.livejournal.com/friends/?show=C

I've typed both these URLs in and then bookmarked them, so I can switch easily, and now the terrific audiography comm is no longer overwhelming my friendslist. Hey, I might even friend crack_van again...
