    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, and I try to avoid overtly political spaces online for my own peace of mind. 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.

    Although as far as I know you might want to know that this is a place for promoting a new community, not searching for one. Not actually sure where you are supposed to go to search for one, though…

    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 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.
