I don’t think this is the right way to go if another Server advice’s its users to engage with everybody else on the fediverse in the best manner. The point here picked only seem to reflect the world views of the admin which cant be discussed or challenged. I guess this is fine because everybody can search for another server but if the server team here cares about its users opinions I’d like to voice my disagreement and would love to have this decision maybe put up to a vote / test period or something similar. Even If I will switch to another instance, thank you for providing this server.

Synapse runs absolutely fine for me. But im only hosting for a few users

Im using the ansible matrix playbook with synapse for 3 users and a bunch of bridges. I choose this because I used to setup my docker container and everything myself up but i absolutely dont want any downtime on my communications just because a config is not perfectly setup. If im out and about i want to still be reached. The playbook makes it really simple and takes care of everything i want. Even things like sliding sync are setup with one line added to the config. https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy

Thats reall nice

Wow how haven’t i heard of hubzilla before? Wow autocorrect doesn’t recognize it either😄 And thank you for the excellent write up.

While it doesnt yet support Lemmy you might be interested in fedilab. Its goal is to combine all fediverse services into one app.
