[Meta] What would you like to see in this community? (self.ynab)

Hello everyone, I'm so happy to see this community grow. I'd like to always make sure there is some thread where community input can be gathered so that we can allow our little corner of Lemmy to flourish.

What would you guys like to see in the ~~subreddit~~ community What are your hopes and expectations for a YNAB community?

Some ideas I'd be personally interested in exploring:

General personal finance overall (with relation to YNAB)
Money diary posts (I always loved the money diary community on reddit and wished there was a YNAB version of it)
Weekly community questions
Onboarding guide
Reaching out to the YNAB team to setup an AMA (moonshot idea)

It would also be nice to setup some community 'goals' or 'mission' just so that we can show our community's direct intent.

Some Ideas for Community Missions/Goals:

Advocation for healthy relationship to personal finance
Increase and promote community knowledge of the YNAB tool
Camaraderie in helping our fellow budgers roll with the punches

I'm looking forward to hearing everyone's feedback!

EDIT: Changed subreddit to community

Apple Card holders! How do you manage synchronizing? (self.ynab)

I’ve been finding it so incredibly annoying to sync my transactions when life gets busy. Especially reoccurring transactions with variable balances. How do you guys manage? Do you use the export/import tool ever?

I figure I’ll do something like this every so often.

I’ve been using YNAB for a while and already miss the reddit community. I’m hoping to at least build a small community here of people answering questions, sharing categories, and communicating news. I’ll do my best and keep this community running!
