Self-hosting a Matrix server for 5 years (yaky.dev)

Experiences with the Matrix protocol, Matrix Synapse server, bridges, and Element mobile app. There are some you-just-have-to-know-this issues.

TL;DR:

Matrix Synapse: works fine, but requires constant manual maintenance.
Bridges: work pretty well.
Element: generally OK, some issues with timely notifications, no feature parity between Element Classic and Element X, terrible on-boarding (with current setup)

Man, I really wanted to migrate to Matrix from mattermost but I don't want or need monthly maintanece. Though it's probably not that involved, just Wanted Matrix/Synapse option to be the solution... The search continues.

Thanks for taking the time to put your thoughts together.
