I originally posted this on the r/Syncthing subreddit but haven’t got any replies there yet so hoping I’ll get some here

So I wanted to try Syncthing, and I installed it on my MacBook and my Raspberry Pi. I connected them and shared a folder between them and at first it seems to have worked, but then I noticed something. New files, and changes made to those files, only get synced from the Raspberry Pi to the Mac, not the other way around.
I made a file on my RPI named “test” containing the text “testa”. It showed up on my Mac. Then I tried to edit the file on my Mac to say “testb”, but on my RPI it still says “testa”. I made a few more files on my RPI, they all appear on the Mac, I edit them on my RPI, and the edits appear on the Mac. But if I ever change them on the Mac that change doesn’t sync to the RPI. Also if I make a new file on the Mac it does not appear on the RPI
I rebooted the Mac and now the files and their changes appeared on the RPI, but if I make any new files or changes they don’t appear on the RPI (until I reboot my mac, presumably).
Another thing I noticed, I set them both as introducers to each other and the web GUI showed a message saying I shouldn’t do that. So on my RPI I edited the mac to not be an introducer, but it still shows the message on the RPI web gui. The message did disappear on the mac though.
Another thing I thought I should add, both devices are running Yggdrasil and I disabled both global and local discovery, and manually configured them to connect to their Yggdrasil addresses.
