How do you use MOCs to organize your vault? (lemmy.world)
 

Hi all,

I am curious how you use your MOCs to organize your vaults.
Nick Milo's LYT example is really nice, but seems super complex to me. I think I get why MOCs are useful, but I am also looking from inspiration elsewhere.

Do you dump all your notes in a single folder and then make MOCs to help navigate them?
Have you been using tags?
Are there any tips/best practices on maintaining MOCs?

I've been using a directory structure based on the note's subjects, but quickly bumped into a problem: some notes fit in more than one subject.
Tags have been of help, but it's getting out of hand the way I use them.
I believe using MOCs might be the answer for me, but I also fear it might be too cumbersome to maintain.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

What are your thoughts about Obsidian not being Open Source? in c/obsidianmd@lemmy.world

I really like obsidian and use it even though I usually prefer FOSS tools. It just suits my needs perfectly at the moment.
Having the markdown files on my drive is the primary reason I don't stress over it too much.
I'll probably start using Zettlr if it improves significantly or if I feel betrayed by Obsidian.

What's with the schism between lemmygrad and beehaw? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

It definitely is an interesting and there might be some merit to it. I'm just worried. Let's say I post in lemmygrad for any reason and then comment something unrelated and neutral on a beehaw post. Will I be silenced because of that first instance's bad reputation? Maybe I'm thinking too much.

Yeah, not opposite politically. You described it better.

I definitely agree on respecting how other instances moderate themselves and I'm happy I can choose what I interact with. It's just so new and it's hard to find out what the vibes are. I hope I chose well with this one.

nonono, It's not that. I haven't lurked there for very long, but it seemed that they were trigger-happy on bans from what I gathered. I don't have examples at the moment and the modlog feature doesn't seem to work well..

I am exploring Lemmy right now and what I see is very worrying to me, but I also don't understand wth is going on with some instances here. I don't know if it's smart to post this, but here we go.

I am partial to Marxist and anarchist ideology, but lemmygrad looks completely unhinged to me. Is it a parody? Some content is fine and some of it is insane.

On the other hand, beehaw looked super inviting from the outside and I even applied to join them. Then, I looked closer and that instance's moderation looks totalitarian and rigid in the other way. (I understand why they blocked lemmygrad though...)

I'm seeing this impact other communities in different ways and there's some kind of witch hunt happening on both sides...

I want to interact with people that can respect each-other and that can hold open-minded discussions about any topics without devolving into some tribal war.

Edit: I realize my post is not a simple question... Let me clarify some thoughs:
-I do not mean beehaw is far-right. The just seem strict and that's their right.
-I worry profiles can "inherit" the bad reputation of instances they interacted with and get pre-emptively banned.
-People are used to reddit and tend to centralize. Is the "just switch community" really an option?
-English is far from my first language and I might've judged things too quickly/harshly so take my criticism with a grain of salt.
