Just another Lemmy user, and also an idiot who accidentally wiped his Lemmy instance not once but twice. Oh well, third time’s the charm.

  • How is this different to ActivityPub protocol that the fediverse uses? Seems like its trying to accomplish very similar things? Like how KBin and Lemmy can interact with the same content and have different layouts, apps, etc.

    I suppose it’s good to have alternative protocols for decentralized communication, but wouldn’t it be better to focus on one and put more effort into improving it?


  • That feature doesn’t yet exist in Lemmy, though there are discussions about that on GirHub, so it’ll probably be implemented eventually.

    There is technically a way to transfer all your data from one instance to another if you have access to the database. For example, you take a database dump of your user and all your info (as mydata.sql) and ask the admins of the other instance to run that against their database, you’ll be able to preserve all your user data that way. However, you’re unlikely to get an admin to agree to that (since there’s obviously a risk the SQL commands are malicious or you tampered with it in some way).


  • They are very similar. The main differences are:

    • LogSeq uses bullet points. Obsidian is just pure markdown
    • LogSeq is open source. Obsidian is closed source
    • LogSeq has a predefined structure to it (folders). Obsidian allows you to have whatever folders you want

    Personally, I use LogSeq for my day to day work. Primarily because I prefer the bullet point approach when taking notes. But some people would prefer writing long continuous text with Obsidian.

    So to each their own. If you’re interested, try both (they’re both using markdown, so you can transfer between the two). I went back and forth a few times before settling with LogSeq
