How do you use MOCs to organize your vault? (lemmy.world)

Hi all,

I am curious how you use your MOCs to organize your vaults.
Nick Milo's LYT example is really nice, but seems super complex to me. I think I get why MOCs are useful, but I am also looking from inspiration elsewhere.

Do you dump all your notes in a single folder and then make MOCs to help navigate them?
Have you been using tags?
Are there any tips/best practices on maintaining MOCs?

I've been using a directory structure based on the note's subjects, but quickly bumped into a problem: some notes fit in more than one subject.
Tags have been of help, but it's getting out of hand the way I use them.
I believe using MOCs might be the answer for me, but I also fear it might be too cumbersome to maintain.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I use folders and tags for organisation (Auto Note Mover puts my notes where I want them based on how I tag them. But I use AutoMOC to make a big list of connections that I then reorganise into categories. It's a really good way to make sense of things after I've built up a good bank of ideas on a topic. But I don't use them for navigation; I'd much rather go through search or quick switcher.
