If you like having the date link attached to the note while browsing your notes, then you can filter out your daily notes directory in the graph view.
I personally don't link all of my notes to the daily notes on the day they were made because I generally don't care about what else I made on a particular day if it's unrelated, and if it's related then I just have a link there directly.
If you still care about notes made around the same time (or just time tracking note creation) you can do what I do and have all of your names be {zettel_timestamp}_{note_title} so it comes out like 202401051642_radioactive_mayonnaise_makaes_a_supermanwich and all notes sort into the date and time they were made when sorting by file name
I forgot about filtering in graph view. Thanks a lot for the reminder!
I don't get the naming convention of a Zettelkasten. What if you have two notes about radioactive mayonnaise, but with different timestamps?
At that point, the second one should either have been an edit with more/changed info to the initial note, or it's adding additional info so you would have two files linked that are like {timestamp}_radioactive_mayonnaise {newer_timestamp}_making_radioactive_mayonnaise, etc. There isn't really a reason to have two notes with the same name anyway (in the same way that you couldn't have two files called radioactive_mayonnaise.md in the same directory and wouldn't want that in your search and linking). It's okay to go back and add more info to an existing note, or make a new note with a more descriptive name if warranted.
Thanks for that hint. How am I supposed to use the filter as exclude? I only saw it working as include only. Thanks!
Use - to exclude a search key. E.g. path:-"templates" or -tag:#diary.
