Lou Plummer 💖I am a fan of using Obsidian sync because it lets me have different settings on each device where I use the app, but I recently found out that if you use Syncthing for DIY syncing, you can omit the .obsidian folder, where all the settings are kept and get the same result. <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Obsidian</a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/ObsidianMD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ObsidianMD</a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/PKM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PKM</a>

Thibaultmol 🌈<a href="https://ruby.social/@denis" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@denis</a> It's funny... By watching many <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Obsidian</a> videos, I had heard people say stuff about "Johnny Decimal"..... but I never actually looked into it or realized it was a whole website and stuff XD TIL

Lou Plummer 💖There are so many ways to get web content into Obsidian - the official web clipper, Slurp, Extract URL Content, ReadItLater, MarkDownload, Plugins for Pocket and Instapaper, Apple Shortcuts. Which do you use? <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Obsidian</a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/ObsidianMD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ObsidianMD</a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/PKM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PKM</a>

Jason Bellew,💻🤠🏳️‍🌈🐻‍❄️🖖🏻If you use Obsidian as your note platform. Then definitely install the Obsidian Web Clipper to clip those web articles that you are using for research, or whatever. It provides tags, source url, author, published date, clipped date, and description.Most useful thing and great for ridding yourself of Pocket!!<a href="https://sigmoid.social/tags/obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#obsidian</a> <a href="https://sigmoid.social/tags/webapps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webapps</a>

fzap<a href="https://chaos.social/@holgi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@holgi</a> Meine Empfehlung ist <a href="https://social.anoxinon.de/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Obsidian</a> zum Speichern von Notizen. Man kann da auch schnell Schnipsel von Webseiten übernehmen. Es gibt ein kostenpflichtiges Sync-Tool oder man organisiert die Synchronisation der Markdown-Dateien selbst. <a href="https://obsidian.md" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://obsidian.md</a>

Lou Plummer 💖For an excellent weekly roundup of new Obsidian plugins, check out Obsidian Journey. Every plugin is anlayzed in some depth. It's more than just a list of links. <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Obsidian</a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/ObsidianMD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ObsidianMD</a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/PKM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PKM</a> <a href="https://obsidianjourney.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://obsidianjourney.com</a>

Niklas Pivic<a href="https://github.com/davidingerslev/outlook-meeting-notes" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/davidingerslev/outlook-meeting-notes</a>This lovely plugin allows you to drag-and-drop Microsoft Outlook calendar events to an icon to create a new note with all meeting details as metadata.Dates are a bit weirdly displayed for meeting–series events, but it's worth it to me.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Obsidian</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/plugin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plugin</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MicrosoftOutlook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MicrosoftOutlook</a>

Aaron HockleyTip for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pkm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pkm</a>: set up a query to find your notes with the oldest modification dates. Are they still relevant? Do they need an update? Could they be deleted?I use <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#obsidian</a> and dataview to do this.

aehTrying to decide: Obsidian.md or Logseq — which one is the ultimate tool for knowledge management and note-taking?Both have their strengths, but I’m curious: Which do you use and why?

Fabien Nicolet 🏳️‍🌈🏴Et pendant qu'on y est. Si j'ai, dans un document, des chapitres qui m'intéressent plus que les autres, dont je veux plus garder la trace que du reste, ça se fait de refaire une entrée ? Ou je garde la référence dans mes notes perso ? (je suis en train de lier <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/zotero" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zotero</a> à <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#obsidian</a>, je peux le garder là, par exemple).Note : j'ai trouvé que je peux créer un chapitre de livre en cliquant sur mon livre. Mais il apparait en vrac avec le reste des documents, sans lien visuel non plus...🙏🏻

Toran ShawRealised that I much prefer <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/Logseq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Logseq</a> for my fleeting notes, i.e. my <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/CommonPlaceBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommonPlaceBook</a>. I tried using <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Obsidian</a> for a while, but I much prefer the Logseq bullet point way of doing things.I'm not giving up on Obsidian, far from it. It'll be for my permanent notes and where I do much of my <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a>.If this means I'll have two files, of exactly the same notes (but in different formats), so be it. 🙂 <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/PKM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PKM</a> <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/zettelkasten" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zettelkasten</a> <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/ObsidianMD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ObsidianMD</a> <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/applications" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#applications</a>

BlitzErichZunächst mein Setup. Ich nutze <a href="https://mastodon.pnpde.social/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Obsidian</a> auch für die Schule, daher mag manches anders aufgebaut sein, als es für euch so sinnvoll ist.Hier die aktivierten Core-Plug-Ins, die ich brauche: - Canvas - Dateiexplorer - Seitenvorschau - VorlagenDie Community-Plug-Ins, die ich fürs <a href="https://mastodon.pnpde.social/tags/pnpde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pnpde</a> nutze: - Advanced Tables - Ink - Minimal Theme Settings - PDF Paste In RPG Manager habe ich mich noch nicht eingearbeitet, daher keine Ahnung, wie das ist.

BlitzErichNachdem ein paar Mal die Frage aufkam, wie ich <a href="https://mastodon.pnpde.social/tags/Hexxen1733" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hexxen1733</a> mit <a href="https://mastodon.pnpde.social/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Obsidian</a> vorbereite, will ich in aller Kürze mal mein Setup und mein Vorgehen darstellen. Das meiste ist sicher schon bekannt. Bisher hatte ich es so gemacht, dass ich in eine Notiz alles kopiert habe und dann intern verlinkt habe. In der rechten Seitenleiste hatte ich dann die Gliederungsansicht offen, so dass ich "schnell" nach dem betreffenden Abschnitt suchen konnte. Das war Murks. Daher musste ein neuer Ablauf her... <a href="https://mastodon.pnpde.social/tags/pnpde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pnpde</a>

7ZZ7anyway if anyone who uses <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Obsidian</a> has any tips to get the best out of it, please share! :blob_sign_thx:

7ZZ7I've been thinking about using <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Obsidian</a> as an alternative to <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Notion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Notion</a>, so I finally got around to downloading it and imported my Notion pages. The import was really fast, that was nice, but it lost a whole load of formatting (sort of inevitable since they are different apps) and some information has disappeared, which is not so nice because it's kind of annoying to lose all that work. At least that work isn't lost forever since it's still on my Notion account, but it means I'm not so sure Obsidian is going to be the useful alternative to Notion that I was hoping for (honestly I don't think anything is, which is also annoying because I don't like how Notion keeps pushing use of AI)
