post: Migration From Logseq and DayOne to Obsidian
https://lubieniebieski.pl/migration-to-obsidian/
After 11 years with DayOne and 2 years with Logseq, I migrated to Obsidian. Here's how it went. See the font and colors I use, daily templates, and how I imported data from old tools to the new one.

@lubieniebieski I still have high hopes for LogSeq but I too am using Obsidian (along with VSCode and Neovim)
@lubieniebieski Jeśli mogę zasugerować, to korzytaj z frontmatterów w markdown. sporo przykładowych templatek ma źle rozwiazane kwestie tagowania, tworzenia aliasów, czy innych potrzebnych infrmacji, które z łatwością można wyfiltrować za pomocą dataview.
dzieki za infom odnośnie niektórych rozwiażań. wprowadzę je w swoim obsidianie. i moze w koncu ogarnę wtyczki, z których nie korzystam.
@bobiko coś takiego w sensie? chyba używam:) mam to na blogu więc jakoś naturalnie działa. W template to dziwnie może wyglądać, bo tam się cuda dzieją, natomiast po przetworzeniu przez `templater` to jest już całkiem zacnie.
o świetnie brzmi. podrzucisz mi fragment kodu on this day? :)
@lubieniebieski aaa no tak przeoczyłem :)
anyway, inaczej to rozwiązałem :)
@bobiko to czekam na wpis z rozwiązaniem, ja tam chętnie zawsze patrzę! 
@lubieniebieski a w temacie alternatywy dla omnivore to popatrz na selfhosted https://wallabag.org/ :)
@lubieniebieski Welcome. It’s a well worn conversion path now.
@lubieniebieski why did you choose to stop using Logseq? I'm curious, I've been using both with Logseq mainly for journaling and Obsidian for consolidating knowledge. Not the best to be honest, as having content in 2 places makes it harder to connect the dots than it should.
@endorama I had Logseq and DayOne - and I truly missed having my linked knowledge graph without references in the journal (and vice versa). I guess you might have a similar issue, but the difference between Logseq and Obsidian is even less noticeable. IMHO, it's not worth keeping both apps unless you want to separate them in a very distinctive way so your brain knows that L = journal and O = knowledge.
@lubieniebieski yeah I agree but I've not been able to find so far a journaling setup on Obsidian that worked for me. While Logseq just feels so natural in that regard to me. I'll check out your blog post and get some suggestions from your setup, I'd love to have the graph linked to journal entry.
@lubieniebieski I'm using the Auto Note Mover plugin to move notes based on tags. You have to define some tags and the folders where you want those tags to point and that's it. Then add the tags to the notes you want to move. My rec is to have a system to differentiate the tags that trigger the plugin. Something like: "book_mover" or "history_mover", etc.
@klausblog nice, that might be exactly what I need! There's probably a way to quickly fill in the note with a template I need (like book properties) and together they should give me a powerful combo! thanks Daniel!
Great post and welcome
Tasks works great once I wrapped my head around the nuances. I have dedicated section in daily note for new work and personal tasks. Then group and filter on that so only actual tasks show up. Also have several methods of displaying: today +/- 2 days in daily note, then dedicated notes for incomplete/completed/finance tags/etc.

Bummed about omnivore but obsidian clipper is working really well for me. Specify a clippings directory, add tags and a link to index page. Use local image converter. Then set up index pages with dataview
Both methods leverage dataview and index pages which are just filtered views
2/2
@sp thanks a lot! I'm currently playing with obsidian clipper and I like it, might be enough for my needs.
regarding tasks - I feel similar about it - there has to be some reminders laying around in my most active file (daily note) + other places for more nuanced overview! Do you use end-dates a lot to keep the filters running properly in the daily note?
@lubieniebieski with tasks I use combination of due dates, section headers, and tags. Then tasks view lets one display by filters, group by, and parent header.
So I have sections in my daily note that uses due date = today +/- 2 days, grouped by the header they’re created in (personal/work). You could also group by tag or have project based header. Personal preferences
Then a handful of more expansive task pages: all finance, personal, work; grouped and sorted by date
@lubieniebieski also in the daily note page I have a new tasks section for each header group. So tasks will link to the note it was created on and appear where it matches filter rules
One weirdness is with repeating tasks as it will just create a new one in the same note. So I have some notes with 50 of the same tasks (49 completed)
@lubieniebieski My biggest challenge in migrating from Day One has been attachments. My entries have a bunch of photographs and videos that take up huge space, making the sync very slow if I use Obsidian. Do you have any suggestions on how to migrate the attachments to Obsidian without overloading it?
@ashishbhateja I feel you! Adding photos feels natural in DayOne and you don't have to worry about the storage.
In my case it was around 5GB of pictures + some videos and audio. It didn't affect the speed at all. For the context - I'm syncing files through iCloud, and while I supposed it to be painful - it is not! It takes about 10seconds to do a sync on my phone when I'm not using it for a while. After that it works smoothly.
Obsidian Sync has selective sync feature - did you try it?
@lubieniebieski I'm very late to this, but thank you for linking to my blog post and I am glad it inspired you to journal with Obsidian! Happy to hear any suggestions you might have for the post
@jdheyburn hey Joe! I definitely get A TON of inspiration from your article and it changed the way I use the tool! You can check https://github.com/srg-kostyrko/obsidian-journal - I believe it's a drop-in replacement for the navigation you proposed and it makes things much cleaner! Thanks again for the post and sharing it with the world!
@lubieniebieski Thank you for the kind words! 
I like the look of that navigation tool... I'll have a play around with it!
