Which one would you recommend? I’m currently on the default instance but I want to support smaller instances for the sake of decentralization
EDIT: I’m noticing a lot of you guys are telling me about Lemmy instances. That’s not what I’m looking for! I’m looking for a Matrix Chat server!
Still, I will take that Lemmy instances in serious consideration. Thanks!
Did you use synapse or dendrite ?
I tried to do that too using dendrite (because I’m low on resources), and eventually stopped because it lacks some features important for bridges. I’d definitely do it again when dendrite is more “prod ready” ! Just for the sake of participating with a username under my own domain ;)
I use Synapse. I honestly didn’t dig into the differences between the different servers too deeply. At the time Synapse was the more mature project so that was what I used.
It’s running on a 2 core VPS with 4 GB ram and 80 GB storage. Checking on it now it looks like I’m using about 50% of both my storage and ram. Load look like it has stayed under 20% for the last month and has usually been under 5%
Thanks for the feedback ! Synapse is indeed much more mature, so you were right to go for it. I like dendrite however as it’s pretty easy to setup, and it’s a single static binary, so I’ll wait a bit until it gets better.
