Can you recommend me a Matrix instance using a rust based server? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm trying to get away from Discord's nonsense, but from what I can see it seems like Synapse is still very slow.

We are running a small comicbook server, so it's primarily going to be a discussion platform. We don't need federation, but it would be very nice. It came to my attention that matrix has an ongoing illegal content problem and we don't have the means to host an island server. So for now something like xmpp will have to do.

@weirdo_from_space A valid scenario.
As I see it, a non-federated matrix-server is functional the same as a non-federated XMPP server.
If you have a limited number of users, I think that conduit (matrix) or movim (XMPP) in a docker VM somewhere are the most easy options now.
Just try it and see what you like best.

Note: I actually home-hosts a conduit instance on a pi4 inside a FreeBSD jail

Let us know how it went, ok?
