You severely underestimate the support for Israel outside of your bubble.

I switched from OneNote to Logseq. Its feature set is pretty much completely different, but in the end I realized it's fine with me and resulted in my notes being more useful.

The main downside that I see now is that it's kind of slow - much faster than the Electron version of OneNote was last time I used it, but slower than old native OneNote app or Obsidian. Otherwise its main differences from Obsidian are that in Obsidian the basic building unit is a page, whereas in Logseq it's a paragraph (and, usually, its sub-paragraphs - it's an outliner), which Obsidian can only do with plug-ins and not as seamlessly, and that with Obsidian you pretty much need to use community plug-ins, whereas with Logseq a lot of the functionality is built-in.

It's open-source and uses markdown, not completely standard, but close enough for the files to be entirely usable if Logseq ever dies. Its community is smaller than with Obsidian, which is a downside, but it's not exactly obscure either.

Really probably the most important thing about Obsidian and Logseq is to read an article or watch a video about how automatic backlinking works. It's especially useful for something like Zettelkasten, but it also works for more "normal" approaches as well as concepts like Getting Things Done.

Both are OK tools and are similar in many ways, but they're quite different from OneNote. Downside of both is that synchronization between devices sometimes creates issues unless you use their paid service.

I am quite new to Lemmy and I don't yet understand specifics like this, so that may well have been it. Thanks.

Thank you, that was it! I have blocked lemmy.ml around the same time, after unblocking it the issue seems to be fixed!

The fact that the blocking wasn't 100% and lemmy.ml still sometimes showed in the feed is also a bit of an issue, but that one didn't break the site in any way, so whatever and hopefully it will work properly in the future.

 

Some threads that are visible when logged out become invisible when logged in. This seems to apply to all magazines and all instances - I am not completely blocked from an instance or a magazine, they just don't show all the threads. This seemingly started relatively recently, because I now cannot open a thread that I commented on 2 days ago. However there is some possibility that it happened in the past and I just did not notice, I only go here once in a blue moon.

When I open one of the threads using a direct link, the body of the post itself is shown, it shows the correct number of comments, but the field where comments should load says "No comments".

Example threads that I don't see:

Example 1 (the one that I commented on)
Example 2
Example 3

Additionally, and I have no idea if this is related, I cannot send direct messages to anyone outside of kbin.social, the "Send message" link in their profile just sends me to a 403 forbidden page. I have no idea whether this is related or whether it's just an unfinished feature (in that case ignore this) - I only noticed now, after I wanted to message somebody that unfortunately I can no longer reply to their thread.

I just looked through there and those alternate comics that they make are hilarious.

What kind of question even is that? Reducing plastic enough and getting rid of the amount that's already in the environment without new technological solutions is nothing but fantasy at this moment.
