About the only thing I know is that matrix.org is over-crowded and they want people to use other homeservers. What are the other options for newbies?

      I’ve thought about it. Eventually I suspect I might. There’s a few reasons I’m not doing so right now though:

      • I want the server we start with to be highly reliable, and that means I’d prefer to trust a host with more admin experience than I have.
      • Self-hosting is a non-option for me right now in any case.
      • While technically I could afford to pay hosting fees, I’m trying to spend as little as possible right now.

      Eventually, I think I will want to set one up, just not soon unfortunately.

        I wish I setup the instance I run with continuwuity. I already had a synapse instance so I ended up just copying it basically.
