Tutorials on how to use Obsidian. Shoot me a message/comment if you’d like to see a tutorial on something specific. DISCLAIMER: I’m not officially affiliated with Obsidian, I just really like using it and love helping others find a love for it too.
Hashtags
To do a hashtag in Obsidian is pretty similar to how it is on most social media apps, you just do “#” followed by whatever tag you want. Note that you can’t use spaces, as seen in my video where I have “CaelusStaff” hashtagged instead of “Caelus Staff.”
I personally like using hashtags when searching for something within my Obsidian world, but I really prefer using the web to find what I’m looking for. This is all up to how you want to personally organize your world.
Timelines
To do timelines, you can use the default Obsidian features, but you can also download one of the “timelines” extensions.
How to do install the Timeline plugin:
- Go to settings
- Scroll to “options”
- Click “Community Plug-ins”
- Search “Timelines.”
- Select/Preview your favorite timeline option. I use the plugin by “darakah.”
Plugins
Installing plugins on Obsidian is pretty simple! Go into settings (Bottom left):

Click “Community Plugins.”
Scroll through whatever plugin you want and preview it. Most of the plugins have really comprehensible tutorials showing how to use them.
Don’t forget to install it, this will also require your Obsidian be restarted, so make sure your vault to be saved!
