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

!knitting@lemmy.world

Yep, definitely not new, but in the past I have seen people promote not-new communities that nonetheless are tiny and have not been posted here before so I figured it was okay. If you’re concerned this sub is losing its purpose you might want to message the mod about changing the rules or something. I do not mind seeing old communities here but my opinion is not the only one that matters, and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca does exist even if it gets far less traffic.

Solved! Thank you so much!

From the Obsidian Discord:

PSA: Our main server was taken down by a forced reboot at 2024-08-24 3AM EST / 12AM PST. When the account server was down, our services like Sync, Publish, and account functions like login or sign up were disrupted.

Normally our services would have immediately auto-restarted, however we made a mistake in the auto-restart configuration, which meant that it did not automatically restart. I was able to start it up again manually at 8AM EST. Everything is back to normal now.

I have since located the configuration issue and fixed it so if this happens again it would be down for at most a few seconds. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Ooh a PieFed community! Wonder how that’ll play with Mbin and Lemmy. Followed. Hope this along with the more mainstream textile hobby communities convince me to actually engage in my textile hobbies more often.

Hey, thanks for the recommendations! I have never heard of Tomboy so I went and looked it up and from the images I saw on Wikipedia it definitely looks “forever ago”.

Personal Knowledge Management and the like!

• !pkms@lemmy.blahaj.zone (/c/pkms@lemmy.blahaj.zone)
• !obsidianmd@lemmy.world (/c/obsidianmd@lemmy.world)
• !digitalgarden@lemmy.world (/c/digitalgarden@lemmy.world)

A decent explanation on what a digital garden is. Kind of at the intersection of PKMS and blogging. You can keep continually editing and it is not meant to be perfect, somewhat like an online journal you keep, something something learning in public.

That link punted me off my instance to sh.itjust.works, here’s another one !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works

also !knitting@lemmy.world

This is exactly why I chose Mbin: to help diversify Threadiverse software.

I think I tried this out back in the day when searching for what I would use for PKMS! Don’t remember why I didn’t settle on it. I like FOSS stuff but the switching cost from Obsidian would be high—even if there was something to auto-move everything over I always like to manually move things so I can strike out unused things, improve existing notes, restructure my notes, etc. but maybe to support FOSS I should just find an auto-import if it exists and do it anyways.

Not sure if this would be considered off-topic for !obsidianmd@lemmy.world but you might want to crosspost there. I would welcome it. !FOSS@beehaw.org and !opensource@programming.dev would also like this.

Also, the name for this community (which I did not create and which I am not a mod of) is

Personal Knowledge Management Systems (PKMS)

Thanks for backing me up :)

I am not the one with an issue with the acronym. I am just a nobody trying to be polite to the person who made the comment, especially since I am really not in a position to fix their problem. It feels really weird to have something as call-out-y as “excuses but no solutions” said to me as if I’m personally responsible for the concept of Personal Knowledge Management. I like it and I post stuff about it on the Fediverse. I’m not some big authority about it.

And finally, my biggest reason not to is that I don’t personally believe the acronym needs to change, so I’m not going to begin to make an effort to get it done. I don’t have any investment in accomplishing that change. The commenter who pointed it out is welcome to take steps towards making it happen. I said what I said because I thought that would be a better and friendlier reply than a politer version of “lol idc about this”, while still being my honest thoughts on the matter.

I definitely did not make this acronym and I am not sure how I’d go about taking your advice besides making an entirely new community that I have to moderate, further splitting this community where people rarely post. Maybe making a separate post asking about better names for it? Unfortunately sometimes acronym name collisions happen, and I bet whatever people choose, inevitably some field will have an acronym with the same letters that has been around for longer.

I appreciate people like you.

Sounds like a fun way to very, very slowly improve my art skills which capped out at “I got a good grade on my report card for art in middle school!”
