Hey guys!

A year or so ago I tried hosting a federated matrix and synapse server. While at the beginning it seemed nice, the moment I tried to join a large room it died completely for 10-20 minutes while blasting my DNS server with 10K+ requests. Sometimes at the end it wouldn’t join, while filling the logs with errors. It really didn’t seem like a good user-experience. Ironically, one of the groups I tried to join was the support group, but I failed, because it was too big.

I am wondering if it has improved since, or it’s pretty much the same.

At the same time, I’m also wondering if there’s a good, fast self-hosted alternative, that kinda just works.

    Not waiting 20 minutes in 2023 for a messaging platform to sync if I join a single group with default settings.
