You really should.... Backlinks are awesome... Another dimension in note-taking and more important: note-finding!

Have fun and good luck!

How do you use the back links? I don't find that much useful and have it disabled...

I don't know much about obsidian, but can tell for Roam Research and Logseq, that Backlinks are fundamental: if you link a Page or use a Tag on a Page, that page is listed as referenced link on the linked page or on the tag-page.

Basically the backlink functionality just means: if you reference [[page B]] on [[page A]], or use #[[tag C]] on [[page A]], [[page A]] is automatically referenced (under linked references) on [[page B]] and #[[tag C]].

That should be the same in obsidian.

What is different: in Roam or Logseq you can reference/link not only other pages, but on a block (bullet point) level...

This video explains block references:
