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?
one that supports matrix auth and element call. otherwise login will be somewhat clunky, and you won’t have calls.
OOOH
I had not found this, thank you!
You could set one up for you and your friends its not too difficult
Especially if you use https://continuwuity.org/ :3
I wish I setup the instance I run with continuwuity. I already had a synapse instance so I ended up just copying it basically.
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.
If you do get arround to hosting one and you want help you can DM me here or on matrix @nebby:chaos-ex.chat
Theres a big list. Any of those.
(make sure to test them before you recommend them, I know federated.nexus, unredacted.org and 4d2.org are good)
Good to know, thanks.
