I liked that meme. I had so many characters I could've asked you about.
LJ & DW have both been really slow lately, as far as I can tell. Tumblr has a lot more activity. I'm not a big fan of the paid posts over there, but Yahoo was bound to do something when they bought tumblr.
I am looking forward to posting stories in one place only! I think that LJ/DW seem a little more intimate and less formal than AO3, but only by a small margin.
I really have very few subscriptions on DW and only two -- I think -- aren't duplicates from LJ, so quiet is no surprise over there. And I always tend to think it's more quiet around holidays and in the summer, but it's becoming the standard. I went two days without checking my friends list and and for the first time in a while I didn't have to go back to read more entries.
Tumblr is more active, but the things I'm not a fan of there include way more than just the paid advertisements. I'd still prefer to have better methods of communicating with people, and Dreamwidth and LJ (for now) still fit that bill better
