I added a limited selection of links to (what I consider) interesting Lemmy communities, in the sidebar.
- As a fountain pen user myself, the !fountainpens@lemmy.world 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 !pkms@lemmy.blahaj.zone 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.
- !artshare@lemmy.world and !watercolor@lemmy.ml 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!
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.
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.
