I haven’t had issues with the sync yet. I would’ve thought it would be the limited features of the free version that people didn’t like. Maybe I haven’t used it enough to deal with syncing issues yet?

That’s a good point actually, I never thought about that. I might do Joplin with Dropbox in that case

I just started using Joplin and I’m quite liking it so far. Opening the task manager on my pc and I can definitely see it likes to use up memory, but hopefully that won’t be much of an issue. It takes a few moments to synchronize but that’s alright. It has more features than the free version of Standard Notes, but SN feels a bit smoother if that makes sense. Still not sure which I prefer quite yet but we’ll see

Fair enough. I’m fairly new to caring about my online privacy so I’m still learning. Browser was more of just a preference since I don’t like having an app for everything I use, but if that’s the better way to go for something like this then that’s fine. I like the idea of everything stored locally, but at the same time I like the convenience of having access on my pc and phone. And as I said I don’t store anything secure in notes. If I did need something secure in notes I could use Bitwarden for that I suppose. I appreciate your reply, it’s how folks like me learn. Thank you for your time writing it out

Just checked it out, seems solid. I’m going to use a few for a bit and see which I like best, but that one seems to be a pretty good choice. Thanks for the recommendation

What do you use for synchronization? Or do you only store everything locally?

I’m a bit ignorant, how would one reset advertising ID?

I’m also a privacy-focused iPhone user who’s not too knowledgeable, I hope you get a bunch of responses here. The only one here so far has been helpful

I just subbed to it :)

Awesome! I appreciate it. We’re a decently sized community but there’s not a whole ton of content being generated over there at the moment, mostly just me and one of our other mods. Once it really gets going though I can see it becoming a fairly active community!

No worries! As a disclaimer that I should’ve mentioned earlier, I am one of the mods for patient gamers, but I felt the suggestion was in line with what you might like, rather than advertisement. There is another patient gamers community on the lemmy.ml instance but it’s far less active. I have no association with the Games community though

Fair enough. I suppose for specific video games you’d be best to follow generalized video game communities for now, such as Games or Patient Gamers until later on.

Create your own niche communities then! If others find that it exists, they’ll post to it. If everyone waits for someone else to start the niche community, no one will start the niche community.

What niche hobbies are you waiting on communities for?
