Newbie (kinda) question regarding analog PKMS (jlai.lu)

Hello guys,

I'm new to the community but have been a Zettelkasten user for quite some time.

The thing is that my Zettelkasten is full analog, not digital. Yep, I use some pen to write on index cards that are then stored in boxes. Like some caveman ;)

It's low-tech not because I'm averse to digital, mind you. It's just that I prefer being able to freely spread and order my index cards on a table as I see fit, and a few other reasons like that (like being away from a screen).

Is the community digital-only, or would that be OK to post about analog too?

Thx

I super don't make the rules around here but the mod seems to have gone MIA and I seem to be the most frequent poster.

Sidebar seems to have absolutely nothing against it. It never specifies the PKMS must be digital. I say go for it. It is still in the spirit of the community.

Thx for your reply.

I had a similar feeling on !journaling@sh.itjust.works (the community had been hibernating for around a year), I ended up contacting the team managing the instance where it is hosted and they agreed to give me the key so I could try do revitalize the community. BTW, you're all welcome to have a look and join if you're into journaling or if you ever considered keeping a journal, be it a paper or a digital one ;)

That was my impression too, but I'd rather not create useless mess so I asked. I will take you answer as a green light and will try to post a little something. We will see how people react, if they do.

So I actually posted on !journaling@sh.itjust.works but I don't see it when I go to sh.itjust.works. You might also want to know I, a kbin.melroy.org user, can see your test post from my instance, from the account called Libb with a blue profile picture.

I can see your post (both from sh.itjustworks and from my main jlai.lu instance). have you tried logging out and logging back in?

Yeah I figured out it was one of the few bugs we will have to live with for the time being (like the fact that I had to create an alt account in order to get full admin rights on the community, despite being admin with my main account).

I almost forgot: thx for posting :) (I answered your question)
