How is keeping a PKMS different from journaling, if at all? (kbin.melroy.org)

Figured it might be a good discussion question. Originally posted to our friends over at [email protected].

I think of what I have far more as a Personal Knowledge Management System than a journal. I spend far less time on personal feelings and thoughts and “what did I do today?” and a lot more on making it a knowledge repository for Future Me.

I could have answered here, that may have been more logical but, yeah, I have yet to understand how exactly that cross posting thing works, and how I'm supposed to be using it. So, if anyone wants to read my answer it's posted as a comment over there... Yeah, I also have to figure out how to make an instance-agnostic link to a specific comment, too.

As far as I know, there is no way to link to a specific comment in a way that keeps any user on their own instance, only a way to link communities like that. Things might have changed since I last checked.

They might change in the future but I have not found a way either, so :(
