Given what you said above, you may not be using this at all.

LJ has four levels of security - Public, Friends-Only, Custom, and Private. I'm going to assume that you know Public, Friends-Only and Private - they transfer easily anyway.

The 'takes set-up' is going to be Custom.

Go to your profile. Across the top menu, select Friends, then select Manage Customer Friends Groups. In here, you can create a Custom Group, with some sub-set of your friends. One that many people make is "Local", and then they put the people who live close to them (for whatever value of close works for you). Then, when you post an entry, under Custom Security, you'll see a list of all your Customer Friends Groups - you can select one or more of them to see the post.

I'm assuming these Custom Friends Groups will have to be duplicated by name between LJ & Dreamwidth if you want to use that security.

Ohhh... Yes, I use all four of those already. Never mind [g]. I thought you meant communities.
