Do you mean matrix.org?
My instance is working fine.
Matrix is federated, it doesn't really matter which homeserver you use. You can jon and participate in rooms on any homeserver.
That's the one
Maybe I just don't understand the way it works? I see some public channels but they're all quiet AF
Matrix isn't really a social media platform that you go on to discover things. It's akin to something like discord in the sense you get invited into servers(channels).
You like sewing? Google your way to a Matrix sewing channel. You like CS:GO? Google your way to a CS:GO channel.
Given the state of things, you'll probably find more gaming/tech than you will sewing because Matrix is pretty niche compared to alternatives but nonetheless - you need to seek out entry points into otherwise private areas of the Matrix network.
