Upcoming changes for the community in c/journaling

[–] Libb 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It’s sad to hear that you need to take time off from this community but I can understand not having the time. I’d like to wish you all the best for your personal matters.

Thx, a lot. I have no clear idea how much or even how long this business will take so I'd rather not promise anything I won't be able to hold. I will do my best to keep posting, though ;)

I may post a weekly thread if I can think of something interesting. I’d like to keep the weekly thread going, because it is fun.

I created a repo which contains all the source files you need to create a new illustration (it also contains the banner illustration and the community icon). They are SVG files (a standard/open format) created using Inkscape (a free vector illustration app available for Linux, Windows and Mac), the font you will need if you want to keep the same design is called 'Annie use your telescope', it's free.

BTW, I had prepared an illustration for the WT#13 already( it(s just that I could not find the time to write the post). It's in the exports folder) feel free to use it if the theme inspires you: beginning without spending too much, as I do think too many people don't realize how cheap it can be to journal be it analog or digital. You're more than welcome to use or to not use it. If you don't I'll still try to publish it as a standard post, later on... as soon as I can ;)

Also, would you want to become Moderator? Not that there is a lot of of work but it may come handy and you get a shiny badge :p

Hello guys,

No Weekly Thread this week and probably not in the foreseeable future as I need to deal with personal matters that will reduce the time I have available for the community.

Like I always said, I don't own the community, if I'm anything it's its janitor.

So, if anyone is willing to pick up this role of janitor/mod/admin I will gladly give them all the keys. And if you're feeling like keeping publishing the Weekly Thread or want to change the banner/icons I will also give you the source files for all our illustrations (I used Inkscape to create them).

If no one wants to that's fine too. I will keep the Mod hat for the time being and do my best but I won't publish that much.

I quit doing that... 4 or 5 years ago (started doing it in late 70s) ;)

25-04-25 Maintenance de jlai.lu en cours : migration vers de l'object storage (500gb de données) in c/jlailu_statut

[–] Libb 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pour faire gagner du temps, je me suis déjà emballé moi-même et j'attends sagement qu'on me migre avec les autres données ;)

Bon courage aux admins.

Thinking about it now, this can probably seriously challenge a kid’s faith in their abilities, and rob them of a sense of accomplishment.

I literally took that as a personal challenge, and then started getting better ;)

This was so much kid-me. I was so frustrated comparing my 'finished' model planes with the box art. Still, I kept building and painting them :p

À propos de cette commu : vous pouvez mettre vos publi en attente ici. in c/jlailu_statut

[–] Libb 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

J’espère que malgré tout que vous resterez avec nous. :)

Si on devait se quitter les uns les autres dès qu'il y a la moindre friction (version tout public de 'avoir une couille dans le potage'), de un y aurait beaucoup trop de claquements de portes dans ce monde, et ensuite on vivrait tous bien seuls ;)

Je suis surtout curieux de savoir ce qui cause les soucis (enfin, si c'est intelligible par un incompétent moi)

Pour info, Anansi revient de vacances demain in c/jlailu_statut

cool (et curieux de savoir ce qui merdouille) ;)

[Weekly Thread] #12 Where do you journal? (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 2 weeks ago by Libb to c/journaling

11 comments fedilink

We’re now 516 members! A warm welcome to all of you :)

The idea with this Weekly Thread is to encourage people to participate more by sharing a theme. See that as an invitation, nothing more and you’re more than welcome to comment about anything else related to journaling, or to start your own thread while ignoring this one.

This week theme: Where do you journal?

Do you like to write your journal at home, comfortably installed on your desk or maybe on a couch or in the bed? Or do you journal everywhere you go? And how? Do you do it on your phone, or in your journal (that you carry everywhere you go?) or maybe in smaller notebook?

[Weekly Thread] #10 Changing the past through journaling? (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 1 month ago by Libb to c/journaling

6 comments fedilink

What is this WT?

We’ve a steadily growing community—Welcome to our 18 new members since last week, we're now 483 total!—but participation is growing slower.

My idea is to encourage people in participating more by pushing a weekly theme. It’s an invitation, not a mandatory theme. Feel free to comment about anything else related to journaling, or to start your own thread ;)

This week theme: If by journaling it you could change one thing in the past…

News aren't that great and I thought it might be an interesting way to reuse a classic sifi theme. So, if by journaling it, writing it or skecthing it down in your journal, you could change any past event, not something global like an election, a war, some castatrophic event, or anything like that but something directly linked to you daily or to the people close to you.

Would you use that power?
What would you change?

[Weekly Thread] #9: Digital or/and analog? (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 1 month ago by Libb to c/journaling

16 comments fedilink

Are you a beginner, or are you considering if you should start a journal? Ask all your questions here. Are you more experienced? Feel free to share tips, tricks, pictures of your journal, anecdotes. Anything related to keeping a journal is welcome in this weekly thread.

Why a WT?

We’ve a steadily growing community—we’re now 465 members! Welcome to all of you!—but we don’t have that much active members.

My idea is to encourage people in participating more by pushing a weekly theme. It’s an invitation, not an obligation. Feel free to comment about anything else related to journaling, or to start your own thread ;)

This week theme: Is your journal analog or digital? Both? Or something else entirely?

Are you more of an analog or a digital user? Do you use both without any hesitation? Do you use a dedicated app like, say, DayOne, or a word processor, or a text editor, something like MS Word, LibreOffice or TextEdit?

Do you have an app you love to use? That helps you journaling?

Disclaimer: don't you dare question my amazing illustrator skills. This is a perfectly fine illustration for the weekly thread, one many pro news outlets would envy us :p

We’ve a steadily growing community—we’re now 456 members, twenty more than last week! hi & welcome to all of you!—but we don’t have that much active members.

This week theme: Nothing is working out

What do you do when stuff aren’t working as expected? Do you journal about them? If so, how? Do you use your journal as tool to try to better understand what’s going or is it just a way to record the event and keep track of them?

[Weekly Thread] #7 Privacy and intimacy (sh.itjust.works)

Why a WT?

The community keeps getting new members—we’re now 436 members, hi & welcome to all of you!—but we don’t have much active members.

My idea is therefore to encourage people in participating more by pushing a weekly theme. It’s an invitation, not an obligation. Feel free to comment about anything else related to journaling, or to start your own thread. You can also let me know if you don't like to see a Weekly Thread. I won't be mad ;)

This week theme: I (don’t) care about my privacy!

Digital journal often offers some way to encrypt our entries, analog journaling not so much. Anyone opening a journal will be able to read it which can lead to some sad situations. But even if that journal was stored in a safe, or in a locked drawer, seeing us journaling may draw attention and raise questions form friends, SO, children, and even from the cat or the dog!

Do you worry about that? How you deal with the privacy of your journal?

[Community Update] New Community Added to the Sidebar (self.journaling)

submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by Libb to c/journaling

0 comments fedilink

I’m very happy to report that I have yet again updated the community sidebar with a link to a brand new community.

[email protected] is

a community for stationery users and lovers. We talk about pens, fountain pens, notebooks, planners, pencils, mechanical pencils, markers… and in general about everything we use for writing, journaling or drawing.

It’s great to see more communities around interesting topics. And this one obviously is. Well to analog journalers/writers among us at least ;)

[Weekly Thread] #6 Do you journal about the world events? (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by Libb to c/journaling

Are you a beginner, or are you considering if you should start a journal? Are you more experienced? Feel free to ask all your questions here, to share tips, tricks, pictures of your journal, anecdotes. Anything related to keeping a journal is welcome in this weekly thread.

Why weekly?

We have a steadily growing community and we’re now 418 members! But we don’t have that much active members (which is fine, don’t get me wrong). My idea with the weekly thread is to encourage people to participate and to hopefully give it more visibility. It also makes it simpler for lazy-me to regularly publish new content ;)

If it needs to be said, you don’t have to post your questions, discussions in this weekly thread. Not at all. You also don’t have to talk about this week’s theme. It’s just a trigger or an invitation you can completely ignore. I would even encourage you to talk about anything else, as well as to start your own threads.

This week theme

Do you journal about all the shit happening in the world, far or nearby, or is your journal more intimate?

[Weekly thread] #5: Nothing interesting ever happens in my live! (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 2 months ago by Libb to c/journaling

Welcome to our new members!

The Weekly Thread is the place for everyone to share content and ask questions. Are you a beginner, or are you considering if you should start a journal? Ask all your questions here. Are you more experienced? Feel free to share tips, tricks, pictures of your journal, anecdotes. Anything else related to journaling is welcome

This week theme: What’s worth journaling?

I regularly read on the Reddit journaling sub—no doubt we will soon be able to read as much interesting conversations right here, in our own Lemmy journaling community ;)—people complaining that they don’t have an interesting enough life to write about it.

Neither is mine. And That’s fine. For me, events don’t matter much, it’s how they impact me and how I perceive them.

What about you? (I will share some details about my uneventful journal in the comments).

[Community Update] New Community Added to the Sidebar (self.journaling)

submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by Libb to c/journaling

0 comments fedilink

I updated the sidebar to add a new ‘Notebooks' community, a place to, I quote,

Share your collection, use cases, note-taking methods, pens, and accessories as you see fit.

You are welcome to share your journaling here too. Anything involving a notebook is welcome!

[email protected]

Obviously, I'd rather see journaling content posted around here, a dedicated community, but that's absolutely fine to do it anywhere as long as it encourages people to journal more; to talk more about how they do it, and at least as important, if it encourages newcomers to give journaling a chance.

We have no excuse anymore as we now have our dedicated journaling community, a fountain pen one, and now also a notebook community. Maybe we should have one dedicated to the humble but so useful ballpoint pen/gel pen too ;)

Edit: I forgot to welcome new subscribers. Like, really what was I even thinking?
