- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I have been experimenting with it recently. What is your use case?
I use it to backup my photos, music from my phone to my PC. Send music from the PC to the phone, nothing too crazy. What about you?
Is syncthing a backup solution? I think it is advised to not rely on it for backups because one deletion deletes it from everywhere.
I don't know what I can use it for. I have set it up on iPhone and desktop. I am wondering if I should use it for RPi with Tailscale. Still, the question remains on what to use it for?
There's a setting for that but I've just got all one way folders right now, so in my music I'll have a send and receive sub dir just in case. Same with the photos but I'm not really sending them to the phone.
Then it is fine, I guess.
iOS does not support syncing in background with Syncthing (the only app I know of, and it is in TestFlight). I don't know if I would be able to make any use of it.
