@afewbugs Hmmm. Never tried it through tasks but I know you can on the calendar. Hang on, I'll have a play.

Because if there isn't I am developing a very strong suspicion that NextCloud developers aren't the ones who do the housework in their households

@afewbugs does it work with the android nextcloud app ?
Also, if it doesn't do what you want, I believe the idea is you can file a bug report on GitHub, and then be told you're doing it all wrong... Or something, cos open source.

@afewbugs It appears that there isn't a way through the front end, only if you use third party software but it appears to be a frequently asked for feature.
I probably knew this before and forgot which is why I use calendar for reoccuring tasks. -

If any @nextcloud developers happen to be reading this and want a feminist perspective, actually especially if they're reading and don't want a feminist perspective: there are two types of tasks, one off achievement tasks like build a website, write an article, paint a room where once it's done it's done, and recurring maintenance tasks: do the laundry, change the sheets, water the plants.

Not possible. But you can do that in the calendar. -

The first type is the one that tends to get celebrated, awarded and rewarded, the second type are necessary for everyone to stay healthy and everything to keep ticking over, to create an environment in which the first type that impresses everyone can happen. At home we call these housework or care work, in a professional context we call them routine maintenance or "glue"

Guess which one usually gets handed to which gender. Men tend to get the one off high profile, highly regarded tasks (build the shed or the kitchen or the database), women tend to get the recurring tasks (clean the house, make sure the invoices are paid on time) that don't get the respect the one off tasks get but without which the big one off projects couldn't happen.

If you build a task manager without the facility to do recurring tasks that tells me a) you're not the one doing the recurring maintenance tasks and b) you either don't recognise the importance of maintenance tasks or you haven't even noticed that they're being done around you to allow you to do the big one off production of a European open source task manager, say.
Come on, it's 2026. Do better men. And it is mostly men.

@afewbugs this is such a delightful read/bash/flame on them...

@afewbugs Don't know, but if not, you could try Todoist. That certainly allows recurring tasks, with quite a lot of flexibility over how they recur.

@statsguy I currently use Todoist, I'm exploring European alternatives for a lot of things at the moment and as I'm already using Nextcloud for file management I was hoping I could use them but no such luck

@afewbugs I hit this when trying to find a todo app for the bakery. They’re all geared towards shipping, not maintaining. There seems to be no awareness that the same job will need to be done over and over again.

@afewbugs Probably no surprise that the biggest jobs in a bakery are cleaning.

@afewbugs Ah yes, I suppose Todoist is American. I'm trying to wean myself off US tech too, but ditching Todoist is quite a way down my to-do list (ironically enough). My current project is trying to replace Google Maps Timelines, and funnily enough my current solution, which I think I've pretty much got working, also uses Nextcloud.

@statsguy yes they're definitely bottom of the list because honestly i'm so dependent on them to do absolutely anything!

@afewbugs But if Nextcloud tasks doesn't have a recurrence feature, I guess I won't be using that as a Todoist replacement anytime soon. I have absolutely loads of recurring tasks set up. Couldn't possibly use a to-do list system that didn't have it.

@afewbugs I’m not a nextcloud dev, but Tim Chase ( @gumnos ) wrote a long article on how he uses remind to track “glue.” https://blog.thechases.com/posts/remind/
Since I’m (slowly) moving away from Apple products, and we currently use Apple’s calendar to track household glue (and other appointments), I’ve been looking at tools for moving events from remind to an iCal format calendar using rem2ics so my sweetie can keep using the calendar app on her phone, even if I switch the underlying household calendar.

@_elena Pas immédiatement l’IA, mais sur la matérialité du numérique et des centres de données il y a @lenuageetaitsousnospieds et @tunubesecamirio . @Aepasek a publié une très bonne brochure sur comment résister aux datacenters, et sur la géopolitique du numérique je ne peux que conseiller le livre de @opheliecoelho ! @dataforgood fait du bon boulot également 👍
