Recommendations for a FOSS Cross-Platform Note-Taking Application (lemmy.sdf.org)

Up to now I've been using Simplenote, which has a Linux client (but also Android & iOS) & supports live collaboration on notes. However, Simplenote hasn't had a meaningful update for a long time, & it's recently been behaving strangely, e.g. notes undeleting themselves, line duplications & undeletions.

Can anyone recommend an alternative? Spinning up an ownCloud/nextcloud instance just to use Joplin feels a little overkill. I stumbled across turtl, but the project looks abandoned.

Joplin + Syncthing is great, as other people suggested.
I keep it even more simple: I write stuff in markdown, share my .md files with Syncthing and edit them with markdown editors.
The best I've tried so far for Android is Markor, while on Linux I either use Ghostwriter (on KDE) or Marker (on Gnome)

    If you want a really fancy markdown note-taking app try obsidian.md. Unfortunately not FOSS so perhaps not the solution for OP, but free for non-commercial use in case anyone else is interested.

    I've been using a Foss alternative called Logseq that's very similar.

    Does logseq have tagging and an ability to query like data view in obsidian?

    It'll automatically show tagged blocks from other pages in a special section. I don't know if it has anything as advanced as data view though, I haven't felt the need for anything other than displaying references. The plugin ecosystem seems decent, but I mostly just use basic functionality.
