Journaling Just Works

277 readers
1 users here now

A place to discuss anything related to keeping a journal, a diary, a planner, a bullet journal, art/junk journal. Productivity, self-help, mindfulness, memory-keeping, creativity, project management or any other purpose.

Paper and digital alike.

RULES

  1. Be nice. If you need to preach or to hate on anyone, I will show you the door.
  2. Keep it on-topic. Definitely NOT on topic: politics, pornography, bigotry, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia.
  3. No ads. Product reviews and critics are welcome, as well as links to your own personal blog and videos provided they’re not product placement and that they are related to journaling.

I added a limited selection of links to (what I consider) interesting Lemmy communities, in the sidebar.

  • As a fountain pen user myself, the [email protected] seemed quite obvious. Note that I would love to add a link to a Bic/ballpoint pen, pencil, and to other writing implements communities, if you know any or feel like creating a new one :)
  • The [email protected] is all about Personal Knowledge Management which, in its own unique way, a journal can also be. If you’re wondering, next to my journal I also write a lot in my Zetellkasten and yep, like my journal it is an analog one: after many years and many attempt trying and trying again to be full digital I decided it was time to fully commit to analog.
  • [email protected] and [email protected] are all about posting art. I don’t know about you, but I like art books a lot and I also like to look at art online. I also sketch in my journal and even though I'm no artist, I like that a lot. I find it inspiring to look at the work of others.

Are there other communities that you would like to suggest? It goes without saying but better be clear: no politics, no hate, no porn. Only stuff that you think relates to journaling in some way. Do you know a community around office supply or notebooks or a community dedicated to sketching, maybe?

What do you think about having those links? Is it a ‘Yeah!’ or is it a ‘Nay’?

Keep in mind this is only a proposition, let your voice be heard :)

Edit: in case you did not noticed it, I also slightly updated the rules/description.

Thx for your feedback!

I’m not sure what’s being referred to in the rules regarding, “Read the sticky” as there’s no stickied/pinned post so far as I can see.

Do you still read the sticky thing in the sidebar? There should not be any sticky/pinned anywhere, post and no mention of them.

At first I thought it was just a bug with my machine... As it keep randomly displaying the old sidebar, no matter what I do. It happens to me once a day even though I regularly republish the new sidebar :/

Here is what the new sidebar is supposed to look like now: https://imgur.com/a/yQHy11U . I just checked, that's what I'm seeing right now (don't mind teh dark theme I use, I'm only referring to the text/links). Tell me if it's the old one you're still seeing.

Going back to the main topic, I think the art communities are also a great touch for variety, as sketchbooks and the like can easily be understood as visual journaling, if you will.

Indeed :)

Unfortunately I'm not seeing the updated sidebar, and it doesn't appear on sh.itjust.works either. I think the issue is with Lemmy itself, and that it isn't handling sidebar changes from a remote instance/moderator (as your account isn't on sh.itjust.works).

There's still a lot of rough edges like that with Lemmy right now, but that's software in development for ya. =/

Update: the sidebar should be updated now. Would you mind telling me if you can see the new version?

Indeed. Even after I upgraded my new account to Mod, it was still not working as expected but no complaining: it's great to be able to use Lemmy even with its... weaknesses ;)

New version's visible now! Seems the remote account was the issue after all, but good to see you got things sorted out.

Thx. Glad to know it works.

I think you're right about that. I just created this account on sh.itjustworks and will make it the new Admin. Hopefully getting rid of those issues.
