Once again down the back-up rabbit hole

[chebe]

To back up your Dreamwidth account (minus the comments) with ljArchive *is* still possible.

1. In ljArchive create a New Archive, name it whatever you want
2. Login: your dreamwidth username
3. Password: see below
4. Tick 'Alternate Server' and enter; 'https://dreamwidth.org' (no www)
5. Save and sync

Okay, for the password field you don't actually use your password. You generate a new API key in Mobile Post Settings, and then copy that key to use in the password field in ljArchive. Full instructions here.

There are other clients option available to you; wiki post on compatible clients.

Thanks for making this post. Haven't been able to archive anything since about September last year and didn't stumble over a solution that somebody else maybe has found.

Too bad it doesn't fetch the comments too and that the selected icons are missing on the entries, but it's better than nothing.
