Org-roam: Emacs org file based personal knowledge base system

Question for anyone who's tried this: Do you use your normal org file directory for org-roam or is it better to start from a fresh directory?

I've seen people do both successfully. It plays fine alongside existing non-linked org files. I personally have ~/org with my preexisting files, todos, etc at the top level and (setq org-roam-directory "~/org/roam") as its own thing to try to make it easier to clean up if I decide I don't like it after all. Having a good time so far though.

I use a specific org-roam directory. From my Emacs config: https://gist.github.com/johnhamelink/5e03fc71f820131f187b7b7...

I recently started using both org-mode and org-roam, but I keep my notes/bookmarks/journals/etc in a notes folder, with a timestamp. So far a combination of aliases, and tags help me find what I'm looking for pretty easily.
