I did the opposite, because I don’t relish keeping 4-5 Github repos for different vaults, even down to having to switch username and git credentials in GitHub Desktop when I need to sync my local changes with the remote.
So my vault is bulky (but less than 15k notes) but I needed to weed out plugins that made my vault sluggish.
- I made allusions to those (types of) plugins in this thread.
In time, I may remove some “modules” of all-in-one plugin. I actually I removed one where the md files were quite big with large tables (Obsidian doesn’t particularly likes those) and I relate to those files with Obsidian URI links.
As for Nested Vaults, those would only make sense for me with symbolic links, but I haven’t bothered with employing that method…yet.
An important thing I missed in the linked thread, though:
Obsidian core Graph plugin.
People complained about lags with it being enabled, even when no graph was active in any panes or tabs.
Try disabling it and see the difference.
But then again, it works flawlessly without any lags other times. So one needs to fiddle with it.
