so whats the deal with post notes ?

[manta]

i recently started playing isaac and just finished my first ever full post note . i heard that you have to do them in hard mode as well for the red marks and stuff . anyways on my post note there are only 6 icons . a heart , a cross , an upside down cross , a star and the negative and the Polaroid . these are all the stuff i did BUT i've seen pictures of people having way more on their notes . one thing tho i'm only playing on rebirth and own none of the dlcs . is there more things i need for the post note or did i finish the whole thing for now ?
heres what it looks like right now

That's all there is on Rebirth, indeed.
Note that if you stick to pure-Rebirth, there's little point doing everything on hard. Only one character has an unlock for getting all marks on hard, the others do not. Other than that, only the Heart gives an unlock for getting it on hard. All other marks can be done on normal and you won't miss anything.
Also, there's no point killing Mega Satan as everyone. There's no mark for it on Rebirth, and the game doesn't keep track of who killed it (you only get one ending the first time you beat it).

Afterbirth adds three more marks, and an unlock for all other characters for getting them all on hard. One of the marks only exists in one difficulty but counts towards the "all hard marks".
Afterbirth+ adds one more mark, and gives a hard variant for that one mark (if done on AB, it will be now counted as done on normal). Note that both the normal and hard variants have their own unlock (beating the hard variant unlocks both the normal and hard unlocks).
Repentance adds two more mark.

Note that the "all hard marks" requirements evolve with each expansion, or or more accurately stay the same. More marks exist? "All" means "all". You'll have to do those too then!

Not really. Repentance automatically imports your AB+ save the first time it's launched but has trouble detecting a Rebirth save file and there's no in-game button anymore to import it, that's most likely where what you've read comes from. Your Rebirth save will still exist, but Repentance will ignore it.
There are detailed guides on how to import Rebirth saves into Repentance, but the general idea is to first import them in Afterbirth+, then force Repentance to re-import your now existing AB+ saves and replace its empty Repentance ones (automatically created because it couldn't find any AB+ save before).

I assume you meant the Afterbirth+ bundle.
Based on how I understand it, that would be a way to avoid the issue entirely, indeed. Launch AB+ first, import the Rebirth save in it, and then buy/install Repentance and launch it for the first time.

To be honest I have no idea. I do not follow how often this game goes on sale, nor how low it usually gets.

SteamDB seems to have some info on that, I suggest you check it. Heres the link for the Complete Bundle, for example:
