  Pardon my ignorance but what is a poly group?

    Polyamory, multiple partners and they each have multiple partners

      Yeah, we have been wanting to make a who is connected to who chart. I was going to use draw io but it was a little manual.

        I don’t have the attention span to draw out a Pepe Silva looking graph (even if I periodically have to try to explain it to newbies haha)

    A poly group (also known as a polycule) is a network of polyamorous people’s relationships. Polyamory, in case you’re unaware, is the practice of having multiple romantic or sexual partners at the same time, in contrast to monogamy.

    If you were polyamorous and wanted to graph out your relationships, you could do it a few different ways. For example:

    • Just you and your partners. If any of your partners are also in relationships with each other, you’d draw lines between them as well.

    • Extend an extra level and include all of your partners’ partners (known as metamours), again connecting any pair on the graph who are partners.

    • Extend that further and include all of your partners’ partners’ partners (no specific term for this as far as I know). This would likely include people you don’t personally know, and it would be difficult to build a complete graph of all their relationships.

    Etc.

      I had a feeling they were talking about polyamory, but I wasn’t sure since it felt a lot like over-sharing. But I guess it’s good to announce any and all use cases for something like this, why not. 👍

  I use org-roam (similar to Obsidian) to do that, the graph is neat for it! I only personally go to metamours, but I might pass an Obsidian vault around to see how deep that rabbit hole goes.
