My use of LJ might be unique, because to do what I did is a pain in the backside. I imported my LJ, removed all content there, but manually linked to the content here in the original LJ post (I did that for fic only, and I only had about 18 months of posts, so...)

Now I post once a month to LJ linking to fic only wherever it is. I have never crossposted my regular DW entries.

I do use my LJ to read one comm that has all locked posts, and to monitor no_lj_ads to make sure the site is still safe enough to use at all. I comment on entries there with my LJ account, but I will not make entries in LJ comms. Once we have cross-site reading I may expand that LJ flist and read it here.
