Just seeing your message. I know you already got the answer to this but for anyone else watching. The Archivr uses a generic account which can only access public posts. If you enter your username & password, then the program can login as you and access whatever member-only posts you can access.

Thank you for your question. We will contact you directly about this. We also will provide an update soon to everyone using the app. You should be able to contact us directly if you purchased the app. Everyone on Bluesky doesn't necessarily need the answer to this question. 😊

Much better. I can work with this. Thank you for making this adjustment. I'll keep you posted.

End of New Year's Day - Archived 3 Journals & 1 Kink Meme with 52K+ comments. Still looking for a strategy for *Memories* posts. Despite some obvious setbacks it's fitting that the 1st day of the year involved Archiving. It's a passion of mine & today is a great reminder. Looking forward 2 tomorrow.

Looking into the "Memories" page and I hate infinite scroll. My script uses the Calendar to create an inventory of posts and then uses that list to back up each post. Looking for something similar for memories. Keeping you posted. I should come up with a solution.

Just sent an update to all customers. Please contact me using the contact information in the email I just sent you if you need assistance with the installation process. That's the hardest part. The rest is easy peasy.

I'll look into to that and get right back to you.

Running my first archive of a journal backup of 2026 that has 6 posts but approximately 52,672 comments received. The "machine" is working its way through each and every one of them.

If you feel funny about divulging your email on a Google form that's fine. Message me on my Livejournal profile for this project archivejournal.livejournal.com

Thank you so much. Solidarity is another word for love. 😍😄

Ok, here is what I've learned. There are people who are archivers and techy who would love to use this for multiple journals. Then there are people who just want 1 or 2 journals archived and don't want to install nothing. Installing stuff & issues might piss them off.

If you have any questions let me know.

The version that generated the error message above was from a 2024 version of the software. That's how long it's been. I just uploaded the 2026 version tested it myself revved the engines and it's working just fine. I'll do the archiving service free of charge. If you want to tip that's up to you.

If you like to tinker, like DIY projects, have Microsoft Excel, don't mind installing Selenium (already know what that is) & don't mind updating its latest Chrome Driver then after you purchase you can get it up & running yourself and archive lots of public communities. If you need help contact me.

I will take requests from the latter because that will be the best for both of us. I will perform this as a service because I already have the LJ Archivr Journal Machine working like Fury Road Semi. I would rev the engines if I could. I will update the "contact us" form on the site to take requests.

I saw this & just emailed you. Worse comes to worse I can archive what you want archived & send you a link to it. Also, for anyone else, I just learned about this LJ stuff this morning so yes it will take a minute update things for 2026 because it's been a min since there's been any interest 4 this.
January 1, 2026 at 11:01 PM
Thank you. I will get back to you.

I didn't know what *Memories* were. I took a quick look on LJ to learn more, and it looks like that should not be too difficult to do. If you would like me to use your situation as a test case I would be happy to give it a shot.

@arcadianmaggie.bsky.social has been a blessing to this project. She has beta tested this for several years because while I like to develop software, she had actual use for it and told me what I need to fix to make it user friendly for people in fandom. This tool would not be possible without her.

It's funny how I read that as "isn't worth the risk" 😆. My insecurities betray me. I am the admin of Vidders.net since 2010 and participate in a lot of archive projects. Thank you for sharing.
