Designed for Apple Notes but I have heard of people doing this in Obsidian. I like looking at different knowledge organization systems, so I'll be looking into this even though I'm definitely not going to use Apple Notes.

I can't help you with the political side because as long as the place is LGBTQ+-friendly and anti-bigotry I tend not to care, and I try to avoid overtly political spaces online for my own peace of mind. But as an LGBTQ+ agnostic who was raised with a religious background, I can tell you some places I found on Reddit. I know it's kind of sacrilege to direct people there, especially on the Fediverse where a lot of us left Reddit for here, but I figure looking for people who will accept you instead of tossing vitriol your way takes priority here, just like I would not begrudge anyone who relies on r/stopdrinking for staying.

No idea what your religion is, this reflects my own background, so sorry in advance if it is not useful, but at least you'll know you are not alone.

r/QueerTheology, r/OpenChristian and a ton of the Related Subreddits on their sidebar. I remember r/OpenCatholic, r/GayChristians. If you click around on the sidebars of these I think they can also help you find related places for other religions and being LGBTQ+. I swear there was a subreddit for leftist Christians but I don't remember the name anymore. It might have died in the API drama or not.

Although as far as I know you might want to know that this is a place for promoting a new community, not searching for one. Not actually sure where you are supposed to go to search for one, though…

Disclaimer: I don't have a Rocketbook, nor do I want one.

According to https://rocketbookhelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019987674-How-to-Choose-Your-File-Format, you can at least export your notes. For everything, it's image formats or PDF, but for text specifically…

https://rocketbookhelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015750993-OCR-Handwriting-Transcription is actually pretty vague.

If you're sending your file to Evernote, OneNote, or Google Drive, you can send as one file (a JPEG attached with a transcription of your text), or two files (one file with your PDF or JPEG scan and one file with your text)

Alright, what file format is the "one file with [my text]"? And the "JPEG attached with a transcription of [my] text"—if is a regular image, where does my text go? Is it displayed in the JPEG file itself?

If you're sending your scans to an email destination, you can have your transcription attached to your email as a .TXT file or embedded within the body of your email

Okay, pretty straightforward.

No native .md output, but .txt is not too hard to turn into an .md file. At first I was thinking you could literally handwrite a markdown file, manually writing the # before a header or the asterisk around italics. But…

Transcriptions are optimized for letters and numbers, not shapes or diagrams. So, if you’re graphing exponential curves, drawing diagrams for a room, or sketching a friend’s portrait, you’ll see a lot of gibberish. We’re working on ways to clean it up, but for now, we’d suggest transcribing just letters and numbers.

Alright, I hope you handle punctuation well, that's a normal and common part of language, but you just said "letters and numbers".

In its current form, our OCR software isn't able to recognize formats and line breaks as they appear in the planning and calendar pages within the Fusion and Panda Planner, and the graph paper pattern in the Rocketbook Matrix causes some issues of its own. For now, we've disabled transcriptions functionality on those pages types.

Not sure if you would get line breaks in that OCR file as long as you are not using those things, or if you just would not get them at all.

Those would be the barrier between you getting anything to help you with turning .txt to markdown or if you would have to do all the conversion by hand.

I also suggest you go to that OCR link to learn more about its limitations, but these are the most relevant.

 

I thought I'd ask, since I have an organized method for some forms of media (things you watch, which is ironic given I spend much less time on watching tv/movies/videos than I do on any other form of media consumption) and for others… not so much. And I probably should organize the other methods and implement a system I'll actually use, instead of just tossing them on the To-Watch/Play/Read list and never actually consuming the things on the list.

It is aesthetically pleasing to me and I understand what's going on. I'm no data scientist, so my standards on how to arrange data might be far lower than yours. If you're interested in setting minimum standards for data posted here, that might be an interesting thread for discussion.

I read their reply less as "rtfm" and "I cannot answer that question because you asked if I came to any conclusions with the data, and well, I didn't because this is someone else's, let me credit them!" Although I agree they could have just posted the other person's conclusions too, instead of just linking the Reddit source.

The original Reddit poster didn't come to any real conclusions, but I can post everything they said relevant to the data:

The count can't be 100% accurate but we've done the best we can: I suspect that we had some kids come back for seconds the first year and we didn't catch it.

We've done full-size bars every year, added glow sticks last year and the kids have gone nuts over it. I like how it makes them more visible to drivers/etc., too.

Also, they are from

Puyallup, WA, housing development with many nearby.

More people on the Fediverse is good. I don't want to tell people "maybe stay on Reddit", discouraging them to use it and maybe making them feel unwelcome and unwanted when they are not being cruel to others or spammy.

 

Links to Obsidian forums, but the information here is applicable for any PKMS, not just one using the Obsidian software.

Hi y’all— I’m here today to talk about library and information science (LIS), personal knowledge management (PKM), and YOU.

Since this whole PKM/B (base) thing has taken off there has been endless endless endless discussion on how to organize things. Systems seem to pop up all the time ranging from PARA to Johnny Decimal, to folksonomies, etc, etc. This is a really fascinating and interesting time to be around and also very exciting to see this developing. however one thing that gets lost in all of these back and forth and arguments is that there is an entire field dedicated to the representation organization cataloging and classification of knowledge, a field that has been around for hundreds of years & has the experience of thousands of people involved: library and information science.

As far as I’m able to discern, almost none of these novel PKM or PKB organization systems have benefited from the input of library and information science. There are a lot of things that the LIS field can provide to help all y’all PKM folks. I’m going to talk about that a bit…

I was literally typing a reply about how it still is useful to onlookers and how I have had my mind changed as a third party witness to online arguments before, and then I saw this. Thanks for doing that!

That's how I felt about Kbin way back when. I hope PieFed grows and works out!

 

Found out about this. I'm already on Obsidian but I might check it out. Very not interested in the AI, but since it's open source you can definitely try to remove it instead of having it forcibly shoved onto you with no way to try to turn it off like with Notion.

So problem all solved?

Also, https://startrek.website is a whole instance for Star Trek. Having multiple communities about the same thing is good for redundancy in case one goes down though.

https://fanaticus.social is a whole sports instance, and the instance as a whole definitely passes the "at least a post per week" requirement

I originally replied to this post with a list of digital gardens and kept updating my reply as I found more gardens. As I was making this post I found my reply did not even make it over to that person's post on their instance. So I figure I might as well make that list of digital gardens more accessible to everyone! I'll keep this updated as I find more. Feel free to post some in the comments!

 

I am really not the plugin type, but I might actually try to use this one!

 

Heard it described as somewhat like Obsidian before.

 

I have been meaning to check out Mastodon and never actually fire, not knowing what instance to sign up for…

 

A pretty tutorial in article format. Uses plugins.

Author talks about switching from Goodreads. I also switched from Goodreads, but while we're on the Fediverse I might bring this up: I switched to https://joinbookwyrm.com/, another Fediverse thing.
