I had to adjust my “thinking” when moving from Logseq myself. It’s a hybrid of organized notes in folders with tags (and #sub/tags, which are great) and a “stream” in the form of journals. It took me a month or so of tinkering to really “get it”
I essentially boil it down to a handful of root folders:
Jouranls
Inbox (the built-in “quick notes”)
Travel
Bookings (using page backlinks to link to travel)
Media (which contains info for things like what books I’m reading, games I’m playing, etc)
Locations - so I can do backlinks (Logseq style) between cities, businesses, etc.
Contacts
The “killer feature” for me is page frontmatter combined with page templates and onCreation events, which results in query-able objects much like the Logseq DB version. It isn’t quite as pretty but once you get your schema / frontmatter / templates in place it’s REALLY nice.
Because it’s programmable (in lua) you can extend it quite a lot. For my daily journal pages I have queries showing my current tasks, bringing in other data like recurring tasks from Vikunja, and a daily “news” section pulled from Wikipedia. I also have Lua scripts to track travel, put the weather on every page, etc.
I use it for everything. Shopping lists, travel planning, daily journals, tracking receipts for bookings for flights/trains/lodging/etc.
I am loving Silverbullet. https://silverbullet.md/
Are you using it for journalling? Ie start each day on a new dated page?
I’m trying to move from Logseq to Silverbullet as it feels like the right thing to do, but the learning curve is like slamming into a brick wall.

Ok, I think you’ve given me more motivation to look at it again.
Thanks.
