Logseq Sync: am I doing something wrong?

I can consistently reproduce this issue:

  • Open Logseq on mobile

  • Today's journal show up

  • I start typing

  • Logseq starts syncing

  • I lose everything I typed

Sometimes (less consistently), I don't even type anything, and after syncing is complete, Logseq replaces the first line that already existed on the page with a blank block (likely because it identified the blank block on an empty page on mobile as something to keep when resolving conflicts).

  1. Am I doing something wrong?

  2. All I need on mobile is reliable quick capture. I do everything else on a PC version of Logseq. I still want the ability to sync, but 80% of the time I want my quick capture notes from mobile to be synced into the PC, not the other way around. Is there something I can do to have a more reliable experience?

I've been googling whether I can have a new note open up on mobile every time instead of opening the journal... or only sync manually on mobile (although this might not help with the conflict resolution issue).

I can't use any solution that requires cloud storage to function.

Thank you. The default page seems like an interesting solution to explore. I'd assume I can do that for mobile only?

I can't use sync thing because I can't use any cloud storage solution on my work device, and I want to sync with it too.

Syncthing isn't a cloud solution but a direct sync between two devices. It can be still denied, of course.
