Questions about moving to Denmark/Århus (feddit.org)

I'm going to move to (probably) Århus beginning of January, and I got a few question specifically about the city and live in Denmark in general. If there is a better community for stuff like this let me know!

Live in Denmark

I probably have my apartment secured but are there general things to look out for?
Are there any must-have-apps for daily live? I already found the DSB app, rejskort and rejsplanen app, but is there for example something for national/local alerts (Germany and Finland have that for example).
I already have one specific question: why does DSB offer both to check in and out for a trip and tickets for a specific route?
Any other things I might not be aware of? I already lived other Scandinavian countries, so I don't expect much if a culture shock.

Live in Århus

I'll be trying to join a pen&paper group. Any advice where to go looking?
Any areas to avoid?
Any hidden gems? Might be a favorite café, bar, beach etc.
Any other useful things?

there for example something for national/local alerts (Germany and Finland have that for example).

The system used in Denmark is called S!RENEN (the siren) and doesn't need an app, it uses a built in feature that should work in most modern phones. Be aware that this alert system is tested every year at 12:00 the first Wednesday in May, so don't be spooked if you hear a siren and get a loud notification on your phone that day/time.

Other apps: Eboks or Mit.dk for digital mail from organizations and the state. There's also a few medical apps like Min Læge that are good for tracking your doctor visits and such. MobilePay is convenient for money transfers between friends or when paying for stuff online.

There's also !spoergsmaal_og_svar@feddit.dk if you have more general questions but questions for Aarhus is also fine here :)
