I’m trying to get away from Discord’s nonsense, but from what I can see it seems like Synapse is still very slow.

    If you’re still interested in selfhosting a Rust-based homeserver, https://continuwuity.org/ will get you there. However if you’re just migrating your community to this federated protocol, making a room on an open registration server could be enough

      I was planing to open a room an a public instance but discovered Matrix network had a big moderation problem in regards to illegal content, so I changed my mind. I don’t know if selfhosting is viable the us right now.

    They’re all slow. People will tell you they’re not. Those people are lying to you. I run Tuwunnel. Still slow.

    Try Stoat.

      Perhaps the first question should.be, what exactly do you want to do?
      Replicate a discord server on a local matrix-server?
      Do you want / need matrix federation? Is it a server just for you and your group just by itseld, or do you also want to host users who can then also connect to other remote matrix-servers?
      That are two different use-cases.

          Keep in mind, a service like discord or slack does two things: user management (identification, password resets, … ) and a discussion platform (including providing moderation tools, etc.).

          Depending on your usecase and the number of users, either the first or the latter is the most work.

          Also, a discussion forum is not the same as a communication platform (like matrix or xmpp). Both have different requirements and pose different questions (like ‘do I need federation?’)

            We are running a small comicbook server, so it’s primarily going to be a discussion platform. We don’t need federation, but it would be very nice. It came to my attention that matrix has an ongoing illegal content problem and we don’t have the means to host an island server. So for now something like xmpp will have to do.
