I like obsidian specifically because you don't need to rely on some built-in sync tool. The files are right there and in a sane format, you can sync them however you want. I use syncthing for this at home, but the choice is yours

Neat, I didn't know that. I currently use Joplin this way, synced across my devices with Syncthing. Joplin also supports directly syncing to Google Drive or Dropbox (with optional encryption).

I used to get a lot of merge conflicts working with obsidian and syncthing, as I'd edit on my phone and my computer(s).

Honestly started considering just spinning up a git repo, but knowing me I'd forget to commit lol

The git plugin commits automatically. All configurable. I've set it up on both PC and Android once at the beginning and I didn't have to think about it ever again.

Oooh, I will be setting this up tonight! Thanks!

I tested it at work (we used Obsidian for a while to build an IT Knowledgebase but since moved away from it) and it really couldn't be simpler.

The main thing that keeps me from trying it is that in order to pay with PayPal you have to use some janky workarounds... As soon as they figure that out I'll absolutely consider it

I've heard about syncthing but fear that it won't be compatible with all my devices

Syncthing-fork for Android is the only tricky bit

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Syncthing works great for me. I don't use it on my phone but I know there's an android version.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Looks like it was deprecated last year, though

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

It was yeah. But there's a fork which is much better.
