If you want to archive your Mastodon or other app/site feed posts into Obsidian as separate post entries, I wrote a post about how to use the Simple RSS plugin to do that. I cover Mastodon and Grav RSS feeds. I've done the best I can do for now with instructions and a big thank you goes out to simple rss dev Monnier Antoine for being super helpful.
So happy I took the time to learn #Dataview. It's going to be revolutionary for my vault. It'll help me create main topic pages to keep track of my notes. I used to manually link every note to a "MOC" but I kept forgetting and found it tedious. This is going to be a "leave it and let grow" thing, and it suits my #ADHD brain immensely lol.
And how great it is that the #Obsidian anticipated our annoyance with YAML and come up with the properties feature? Genius.
@liztai Your dataviews wil evolve and that might be a challenge when you have dataviews in your templates that you then want to update as well.
My solution to that is to put a #DataviewJS snippet in the template that loads the another note (call it a #Dataview#template where the actual Dataview lives.
@cobweb I am curious too. By default you can set a size like this ![[image.png|pixels]]
Aligning an #image can be done using a #CSS like below and embed it like this ![[image.png#center|300]] but it’s a hassle to edit text along side the image when not in source mode.

Thank you. I would consider switching from #ObsidianMD to #StandardNotes for reasons of #privacy and #DataSecurity, and because Standard Notes and Proton software is #OpenSource. Proton being hosted in Switzerland, in Europe, helps too, although I don't know what that means for Standard Notes, whose servers are currently in the U.S.
However, I was hoping to learn about the cost of switching.
My own #ObsidianMD setup for #DnD and #TTRPG has evolved significantly over the years. So I’ve updated one of my more popular articles to reflect that:
I just released a full rewrite of my #ObsidianMD plugin Logstravanza, and I think it's solid. It's still mainly a plugin for #Obsidian plugin devs, as it writes console.*() messages to a file.
New in 2.0:
Adds additional output formats, such as NDJSON
Adds support for setting the output folder for log files
Changes output base file name, w/ optional date stamp
New settings tab
Logs unhandled exceptions in main thread Promises now (not in workers)
> Today we’re excited to announce that the Obsidian Canvas file format is now called JSON Canvas and has its own site, specification, and open source resources at jsoncanvas.org.
Dear #macOS users of Actions For Obsidian, if v2024.1 wasn't the first version of AFO you've installed, could you please check your Applications folder and let me know whether there are two versions of AFO, or just one?
The app was renamed in the last update, to proper titlecase ("Actions for Obsidian" → “Actions For Obsidian”), and I just got a report that for some customers, the App Store installation didn't remove the old version correctly.
#ObsidianMD#TTRPG Lastly, two ways I've handled embedded secrets within notes (knowledge that I have as the GM but players don’t yet).
HTML comments. Keeps it right within the note and won't render in read mode or on a website! I'm tending to prefer this method.
Linked previews. This abstracts secrets into their own notes but renders a preview in the related note. This works great with tools like Obsidian publish because they won't show up if you don't publish the secret's note.
Breadcrumbs, DataView, and Grandchildren: Filter to show all notes with the same grandparent
I have a Goal Hierarchy setup in Obsidian....
