On Discord, when someone says they are “new to Obsidian”, the turtle bot replies with:
- Start with the essential info in Obsidian Help!
- Explore uses of Obsidian in the list of resources compiled by our wonderful former moderator Eleanor!
- Keep our community as welcoming as you found it by reading the Community code of conduct!
- To report a bug or request a feature, visit our forum! There people also share workflows, automation, custom styles, and ideas about knowledge management.
I wouldn’t bother with any community plugins or fancy setups to start. Just start taking some notes, linking a few things, make a few folders and #tags, etc., to begin with and check the first link above often. Your setup will evolve over time; embrace that.
