A colleague just introduced me to this Software and way of Note taking today. I was immediately hooked since I always liked this way of linking thoughts/notes but was never really able to implement that using your average Note App.
So from your longer experience, which Ressources (Ideally YouTube Channels/Videos) helped you the most and gave you the most inspiration or ideas for your own workflows?
I’m a Computer Science Student so I’m also quite interested in the Scripting and Automating Parts.
Thanks in Advance! (Glad to see people already created a Community on Lemmy)
- Figure out what you are going to use Obsidian for. And you can only do that by using throwaway vaults. (it is what it is)
- Be inspired by different PKM systems and see their pro’s and con’s and how they relate to what you want to focus on with your PKM system defined at point 1
- Don’t spend loads of time with it. Scripting is not that useful as you may think. If you want to see how Templater works, just copy some YouTuber’s script. Nick Milo and Danny Hatcher have good content about Obsidian.
I love the FromSergio YouTube channel. It was a really nice way to step into the world of Obsidian.

Already mentioned by the other commenters, but I second their recommendation for Nick Milo and FromSergio on Youtube.
