It isn't necessary to move if you just want to follow and reply to people who have actually moved.
You can follow/read a DW user by using an RSS feed. For instance, to follow me here, add altivo_dw_feed over on LJ, since that feed has already been defined.
You can reply by using OpenID. Go to www.dreamwidth.org/openid while you are already signed in at LJ. Supply your LJ URL to get logged in. Then change your settings on the next page to "keep me logged in" and save that. Edit your profile to supply an e-mail address for notifications. You can add a user icon or two and other details if you wish. After that, when a DW post appears in your friends page at LJ and you want to reply, click through the link at the top of the post to get to the DW page and reply there on your OpenID account.
That said, for many reasons I have found this to be a much more hospitable site. I double posted for a year just to make sure before pulling the plug on LJ because of their lousy management attitudes.
