I can't help you with the political side because as long as the place is LGBTQ+-friendly and anti-bigotry I tend not to care. But as an LGBTQ+ agnostic who was raised with a religious background, I can tell you some places I found on Reddit. I know it's kind of sacrilege to direct people there, especially on the Fediverse where a lot of us left Reddit for here, but I figure looking for people who will accept you instead of tossing vitriol your way takes priority here, just like I would not begrudge anyone who relies on r/stopdrinking for staying.

No idea what your religion is, this reflects my own background, so sorry in advance if it is not useful, but at least you'll know you are not alone.

r/QueerTheology, r/OpenChristian and a ton of the Related Subreddits on their sidebar. I remember r/OpenCatholic, r/GayChristians. If you click around on the sidebars of these I think they can also help you find related places for other religions and being LGBTQ+. I swear there was a subreddit for leftist Christians but I don't remember the name anymore. It might have died in the API drama or not.

Disclaimer: I don't have a Rocketbook, nor do I want one.

According to https://rocketbookhelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019987674-How-to-Choose-Your-File-Format, you can at least export your notes. For everything, it's image formats or PDF, but for text specifically…

https://rocketbookhelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015750993-OCR-Handwriting-Transcription is actually pretty vague.

If you're sending your file to Evernote, OneNote, or Google Drive, you can send as one file (a JPEG attached with a transcription of your text), or two files (one file with your PDF or JPEG scan and one file with your text)

Alright, what file format is the "one file with [my text]"? And the "JPEG attached with a transcription of [my] text"—if is a regular image, where does my text go? Is it displayed in the JPEG file itself?

If you're sending your scans to an email destination, you can have your transcription attached to your email as a .TXT file or embedded within the body of your email

Okay, pretty straightforward.

No native .md output, but .txt is not too hard to turn into an .md file. At first I was thinking you could literally handwrite a markdown file, manually writing the # before a header or the asterisk around italics. But…

Transcriptions are optimized for letters and numbers, not shapes or diagrams. So, if you’re graphing exponential curves, drawing diagrams for a room, or sketching a friend’s portrait, you’ll see a lot of gibberish. We’re working on ways to clean it up, but for now, we’d suggest transcribing just letters and numbers.

Alright, I hope you handle punctuation well, that's a normal and common part of language, but you just said "letters and numbers".

In its current form, our OCR software isn't able to recognize formats and line breaks as they appear in the planning and calendar pages within the Fusion and Panda Planner, and the graph paper pattern in the Rocketbook Matrix causes some issues of its own. For now, we've disabled transcriptions functionality on those pages types.

Not sure if you would get line breaks in that OCR file as long as you are not using those things, or if you just would not get them at all.

Those would be the barrier between you getting anything to help you with turning .txt to markdown or if you would have to do all the conversion by hand.

I also suggest you go to that OCR link to learn more about its limitations, but these are the most relevant.

I appreciate people like you who edit your post with the answer.

It is aesthetically pleasing to me and I understand what's going on. I'm no data scientist, so my standards on how to arrange data might be far lower than yours. If you're interested in setting minimum standards for data posted here, that might be an interesting thread for discussion.

I read their reply less as "rtfm" and "I cannot answer that question because you asked if I came to any conclusions with the data, and well, I didn't because this is someone else's, let me credit them!" Although I agree they could have just posted the other person's conclusions too, instead of just linking the Reddit source.

The original Reddit poster didn't come to any real conclusions, but I can post everything they said relevant to the data:

The count can't be 100% accurate but we've done the best we can: I suspect that we had some kids come back for seconds the first year and we didn't catch it.

We've done full-size bars every year, added glow sticks last year and the kids have gone nuts over it. I like how it makes them more visible to drivers/etc., too.

Also, they are from

Puyallup, WA, housing development with many nearby.

More people on the Fediverse is good. I don't want to tell people "maybe stay on Reddit", discouraging them to use it and maybe making them feel unwelcome and unwanted when they are not being cruel to others or spammy.

That's so weird. I would just pick one at random because they are both people I know nothing about besides country status. I understand emotional bias (choosing to save a friend over another random human, and frankly I can understand why: both are a life saved, but one is a person whose death will cause you suffering, and you presumably think the friend is a good person while the random human is a total wildcard). But with the country one… where is the benefit to you, hmm? Where's the educated guess based on your judgment that this person is good? I don't think people from my country are more or less moral than someone from another country. And given how many people there are both are probably strangers. I get no benefit or satisfaction from picking the human of my own country over someone else…

https://forum.obsidian.md/t/rendering-the-markdown-in-the-query-search-results/37978 has an experimental plugin doing this

From what I have heard, there are general purpose users there who are just normal folk, and a good amount of people with unpopular, possibly radical political opinions (phrasing it that way not to say "I agree with their opinions", but because I literally have no idea what they are lol). People are trying to avoid the political part.

I was literally typing a reply about how it still is useful to onlookers and how I have had my mind changed as a third party witness to online arguments before, and then I saw this. Thanks for doing that!

That's how I felt about Kbin way back when. I hope PieFed grows and works out!

As an out of touch person, I have a possible explanation for this: have you ever said "shit" repeatedly as something goes wrong? I imagine some people would write a story where that happens and write it as "shitshitshit" and not "shit shit shit". But outside of that situation I have never seen or heard "shitshit".

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.

Yours also allows me to open it on Mbin.

You would be 100% correct. It was for long-form high quality writeups of drama in a hobby, not looking at drama specifically on Reddit.

Really wish people used !hobbydrama@lemmy.world, from a quick look the three you put seem to be about specifically Fediverse drama

Mbin user here, link in the OP kicks me to lemm.ee while originallucifer's link lets me find it on Mbin

I don't really have a dog in this fight (never followed any communities with this suffix pattern, here or on Reddit, not because of the suffix but just because all the ones I knew of weren't about something I'd want to see. Even if they were relevant to my interests… playing piano is fun for me, looking at pictures of pianos is pretty boring for me, and this is how I feel for a lot of things I'm interested in. I don't really get desire for new equipment once I have something functional and dear goodness do I not want to instill a desire for a material object I do not need via one of these communities) but I'd guess some people have no issue with porn itself, while also having to occupy an environment whose values they don't share. One where they might want to browse the community, and someone who does have an issue might see and pick a fight/assume unpleasant things/spread rumors, or some URL blocking scheme prevents viewing the site because it has "porn" in it and it gets reported to a higher-up or something as an attempt at viewing naughty stuff instead of just regular online procrastination.

And some people are also probably exasperated, assuming (not sure if this assumption is correct or not) the naming scheme was born of someone's immaturity and now they, just wanting to look at nice guitars, have to always see that assumed-13-year-old's influence on their nice picture place. These people might be more likely to have an issue with porn but I can still imagine someone who is a-okay with porn existing and people using it, while still being annoyed with the suffix.

Could also see people exasperated about what they see as an oversexualized world, with the idea that actual pornography is fine, it's a sexual thing in a sexual context! But putting sexually-charged images in things that are not supposed to be about sex is too much, and now this innocent guitar community too!?

Very possible to take issue with the suffix without being anti-pornography.

I personally fall into "hmm, it could come off as playful and the purpose is self-indulgently nice aesthetics which porn probably has, but it could also come off as 'did a 13-year-old who thinks they're so mature and edgy for referencing sex make this title', it's a bit annoying but ultimately not my problem."

https://fanaticus.social is a whole sports instance, and the instance as a whole definitely passes the "at least a post per week" requirement
