Love the accent colour on the launcher too! Mind revealing what launcher that is? Rofi?Ulauncher?

That sounds very tedious, but in some way every failed solution narrows down the list of possibile causes :P

Do keep us updated, if you want. And you might help the peeps on GitHub by trying out different mobile devices or sync methods, if you really really really want to do something in the meantime. It does seem to be neither your Joplin version nor your encryption setup!

Three things I'd try:

1. Mobile client > Configuration > Tools > Sync Status > If there are errors, press on "Retry all" (unlikely, see n.2).
2. If your desktop works correctly, have you tried re-uploading your notes? For that, make sure your desktop is fully synced (and I'd backup your notes if you haven't already automatically). Then go to Tools > Options > Synchronization > Show Advanced Settings > Re-upload local data to sync target.
3. If you want to try something else, you could try using an older build of Joplin on F-Droid and see if it works there.

P.s. I think you should input an encryption master password only after having done a full sync on the device and then entering it in the orange prompt that appears. So your problem might stem from a badly configured E2EE. In that case, if the things above don't work, I'd suggest turning off E2EE, synching all your notes to your devices and then turning it back on. Hang in there!

Edit: Three things :)

Got it, thanks! Very specific advice, I feel a bit more secure now and I'll save this for when I have to replace the switches, that being hopefully never :P.

Good to know, I'll look out for those signs then, thanks a lot!

Praise iFixit. Soldering required does mean that I'll have to learn that first though. Do you have, by any chance, a recommendation for a sort of "intro to soldering" type of video/content that I can start with?

So basically you're saying that my beloved MX Vertical will 100% fail pretty soon? I freaking love this mouse, it's so comfortable and elegant and a joy to use :(

It was @filister@lemmy.world's pun ;) And I liked it too!
