What's your preference for a text chat server (e.g. IRC/XMPP/Matrix/Zulip/etc.)? (lemm.ee)

There seem to be plentiful options for text chat servers, so I'm curious for those that self-host their own, what their preferences & experiences have been with them.

Also those mentioned in the title were just a few examples, if you run something else, e.g. Revolt or Mattermost or something else less popular, would be interested in reading about it!

I grabbed Element X to try it out but my self host doesn't support sliding sync. There is a sliding sync proxy docker that got put out to help but not sure I want to set that up if it will eventually get added to main. Might have to just wait. 😔

I'll definitely set up the sliding sync proxy for the time being. It's such a big improvement (after the initial sync) that I don't want to wait for native support in conduit. Especially since conduit takes some time to support new features quickly.

How long did your initial sync take?

I'm not sure since it's been a while since I tried it on my matrix.org account, but I'd say it took about as long as logging in on a new device.
