Sometimes I come accross a comment that provides really good insight about a topic, and I want to keep it around. The problem is that the save feature on Lemmy/Reddit just creates one massive pile of hundreds of comments. This defeats the point of saving it because when I later encounter the topic that it related to, I'd still have to dig through this massive pile to be able to find it โ€“ so the save feature has in fact not made it any more accessible. I feel like someone on the internet must have surely worked out how to catalog these snippets of text in a way that allows you to quickly find the ones relevant to what you're currently doing. Perhaps some sort of tagging/mind map system? What do you use? I have considered Google Keep but my Keep is already a mess as is.

I like to use Obsidian for this kind of thing. It has tagging, and you can link notes and see the network of links in a visualizer. There's also a "canvas" feature that lets you lay out notes spatially in whatever way makes sense to you. I assume there is a web clipping plugin which could make it easy to grab the comment content and link at the same time.
