Is it possible to use joplin on my phone and desktop with syncthing?

I cannot figure out how to sync Joplin with anything, but I do use syncthing to basically back up my whole phone to my desktop whenever I'm on WiFi. Can I use desktop Joplin to access the syncthing folder and edit notes?

My honest recommendation here would be to use Notesnook instead. I used Joplin for a while, and when I found Notesnook I switched immediately. It's just flat out better at basically everything Joplin does, and it's still open source. No need to run syncthing, use the notesnook server to sync and backup everything.
