I'm again the proud owner of two brand-new & unused Dreamwidth invite codes.
Let me know if you need one. First come, first served. :)

Dreamwidth entered Open Beta (which means paid accounts are up for sale at 3 US-$ and up, sadly currently only via Paypal or money order; purchasing via credit card without a Paypal-account still has a bug, but they're working on fixing it). You can read about their service here.
If you have an open-id account there and validated its email address, you're going to get an invite code soon.
If you don't have an open-id account there yet: I now really have a few Dreamwidth invite codes to give out for free into good hands on a strict first come first served basis. :)

After playing around a while - and spending some time checking the imported entries from both LJ (active until March 2008) and IJ (active since I think May 2007; I imported my LJ sans comments back then) - I have the following summary:( on to the long summary )

Thanks to ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) solo I'm now the proud owner of akk @ Dreamwidth, which I'm going to use as a full-fledged mirror to akk @ IJ. :)
They are currently in closed beta and you need an invite code to open an account of your own, but their implementation of open-id (you can just use your livejournal account for it and they even allow your open-id account up to 6 icons!) makes "foreign commenting" really easy. I also like the option of anonymous commenting with a captcha, in case of spam. That's better than just blocking ano-coms.
I used their nifty import feature to salvage all the comments left to my stories on Livejournal.
However, importing those from IJ didn't work (yet). But that's a known bug and I hope I can copy the IJ comments later on, once that one's sorted out.
I'm certainly curious about how this specific electric sheep turns out!

A few days ago, I learned about Dreamwidth from solo, which seems to be a truly nifty service once it starts. They are working hard to make moving over from LJ (IJ, JF) as painless as possible, including porting comments! There's a lot of thought being put into the project to avoid most of the inconveniences (for example of friending & friendslock, etc.) on LJ and how to make it smoothly interact with an existing account elsewhere (like here on IJ). :)
If you want to know more: here's the DW-FAQ.
