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.

Thats awesome 👍

This is a reasonable response if you look at this situation in a vacuum. But sadly the open source community got burned a bunch of times already by big private corps. Of course they dont destroy all open source. If it helps them they actually help develop it and only try to overtake it in the democratic sense to gain the most voting and controlling power. But Facebook is absolutely not in a benefit of the doubt situation. They need to show a hell of a lot of good faith and need to be a tiny enough fraction of the userbase in the fediverse to be trusted in my opinion.

Yes. Only your server needs to allow it. But lemmy.world f.e. does

The feature your interested in is called portable identities and is still in development, as far as i know. As far as matrix is concerned there is no difference between a personal chat and a group chat. There are rooms with members, thats it. Maybe the tool can kick your old identity after a successful transfer though. Hope this helps a little :)

What about peertube? Since Twitter -> Mastadon | Reddit -> Lemmy Why not Youtube -> Peertube next :D

Wow didn’t know about the chat moderation. Haven’t spun up my server since a year or so, but good to know for when the next cycle of Minecraft gaming sessions hit again.
