A "PKM" (personal knowledge management i am assuming) community seems self-selecting for the kind of result you got.

I would do the opposite -- talk to people who clearly have a need for corralling large amounts of information (authors, phd students), and take a a look at what tools they used. It might not be Obsidian or LogSeq specifically, but I'm sure they have some very specific system that works for them... even if its a just a bunch of google docs.

Hey buddy unless you are publishing “Specific Knowledge” (shout out lord Naval for some reason), you have no business writing shit down in a way that you might be able to retrieve it in the future.

You must write on napkins and throw it in the trash or else you are a tryhard pseudo-productivity junkie.

Zotero is your answer, it even auto generates your citations.

Apparently there are plugins for Logseq and Obsidian as well. https://github.com/vyleung/logseq-logtero-plugin
