It's not necessarily a question of trust, in my opinion.
If it's put out on a public forum, which LJ is, then people will read it. If the things that are revealed about the character can affect their rp, it will - either because they're metagaming or trying hard not to metagame, so prevent their character learning things about yours or struggle with the point at which it is acceptable that the character has gained Knowledge.
That said, despite any efforts we may make in the area, somebody will end up monstering something where they'll get bits about PCs, which may include yours, and that may then also carry over - so it may not make much difference.
Tough call - personally would err on the cautious side, then point non-involved like Lucy to the new comm, and then maybe any others who are clearly playing PCs that aren't involved with yours there.
But I'm not a player, so it's not my opinion you're asking!
