Absolutely no issues at all on lemm.ee from the day reddit killed 3rd party apps - using boost now.

Why is it a pain? I've used it for some time and it just does the job.

Thanks for the reply. I like obsidian at the moment: I can sync across all my devices - using Syncthing, so it's very workable for me. I guess whichever editor works for you is good - though I must admit obsidian is a bit too overloaded for me, but I'll persist as the Syncthing works well. I'll try to simplify it with minimal plugins.

Also I have plain text editor and I have a txt file shared with my computer

Hi, can you share the name of your plain text editor? I use aCalendar+ and opentasks synced via davx5 on Nextcloud.

Hi, not sure if this will work on roku, but it does fine on my nvidia, /u/Metigoth mentioned STN (SmartTubeNext) - it's on github. You could download the apk and try side loading it. Edit: gotta get used to linking better.

Yeah, I'd actually made a comment on that thread (duh). I guess before I realised how good / useable Syncthing was.

Edit: grammar

Excellent! Got it installed now and it seems to work. It was the prompt bit I was getting confused with - I thought that I'd need to have both folders under the same structure on both machines. This is a brilliant app. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Interesting, would you mind explaining how I could use it to connect 2 (or more) android devices together? Where would it have to be run 'from' or installed 'to' ? From what I've gathered, it appears that it just runs from a central point - ie a server and that it keeps clients updated. Is that not correct?

If it's possible to run Syncthing between multiple devices that would be great, but, I'm not sure - in my head, how this functions between devices. Consider me a novice - could you please explain?

Many thanks for your reply.

Yeah, gotta admit to jumping back onto it a few times - purely because of the wealth of information. But I do have to agree with you that the quality of chat seems to be declining.

Lemmy is definately a better quality place to be, but if people don't post - only to a fraction of communities, it's in danger of becoming too focused on just a few topics.

What I don't understand is: some niche communities started getting interest, then the interest waned - did people leave, did they go back to reddit (and why after leaving) or did they find a better place to go (if so where)?

I'm sticking with lemmy for now - with fingers crossed!

Just to clarify then: you use a home server - are you running Syncthing on Linux?

So, if I have an old laptop (win10) would I need to learn linux to use it as an home server - and could it use minimal power when it's always on? The power thing is an issue here in UK.

I have a nvidia shield for the tv, is that a possibility for a server - I go run plex on it?

These might sound to you like daft questions, but I'm just learning stuff. Thanks.

Not sure if this will help you stick with orgzly, but it synced very well with Nextcloud. Must admit Nextcloud was easy, so didn't need to manually sync it any other way.

Hope you find what you're looking for though.

That sounds really cool. I currently sync obsidian via a hosted solution on Hetzner using webdav. I'm wondering if I might be able to utilise it somehow as you have - maybe I won't need to intervene as much.

Thanks for the advice.

Does your method use cloud storage? If not, can you please explain to me just how it works across multiple devices?

Good advice 👍

That sounds good, I'll check it out. Thanks.

Good luck, it's kind of feature-rich so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. The dev is quite responsive (on Github) which is good.
