Currently I'm using Joplin with Syncthing-backed file system synchronization. I'm pretty pleased with it, as I do like tagging- and Markdown-based systems.

I plan to upgrade to server-based synchronization, but before doing that, however, I wanted to see what other people are using.

Edit: So far I see a slight favor towards Joplin and Logseq, but I totally didn't expect (and appreciate) getting so many different answers.

Obsidian. I know it's not open source, but it just felt right.

Yep just swapped over from a self hosted solution with gitlab and sublime.. But that was to restrictive and the overall experience wasnt really good...

I then found a post somewhere on lemmy a post abotu PKMS and what people are using... One was obsidian... So I tried it and I'm really happy

Edit: I saw some comments about some missing self hosting. Since the notes are saved as standard md files you easily ca sync them with whatever you want... I set it up with my synology NAS and DS Drive, but any tool which can sync two-ways should be fine

Not being open source is the great... sin for me. Note taking is an investment in the future, and betting on a closed source platform is a big no no—for me, that is.

I know the content is safe in Obsidian, since it's just Markdown files. But the workflow? Not so much.

And I know the developers behind Obsidian have their reasons to close source it. Nothing against that. But since that's their way, it's not my way.
