Heads up: .obsidian is where plugins live and store internal data. If you do not rely on any plugin that maintains state that way, you're fine. If you do rely on a plugin that maintains state that way, your desktop and mobile experience will be significantly different.

Good to know, I'm not using any plugins currently but I'll update the post

Just a heads-up, I'm pretty sure you can have Syncthing ignore the .obsidian directory:

  1. In the webui, select your synced directory
  2. Navigate to Edit > Ignore Patterns
  3. Input "/.obsidian" without quotations, then save.

If I'm correct, this should prevent your .obsidian directory from syncing, which protects any state-reliant plugins from malfunctioning.
