What is the current state of Matrix? (feddit.org)

Some years ago, I hosted my own matrix server for a few months. I'm an experienced self-hoster, but I remeber that Matrix was paticularly hard to host, requiring weird proxy rules, DNS adjustments, federation never worked reliably and push notifications never worked at all. I ditched the project soon because I also had no real use for it. However, I recently had some ideas where a Matrix server would be useful again. Has anyone attempted to install it recently and can tell me whether the situation has improved? Also, which server do you recommend? There still is synapse but I found it paticularly complicated to host. Dendrite is now archived and the current fork seems to be tuwunel which doesn't seem to be under very active development.

I believe the machines are currently struggling against the humans

Matrix seems to work well. I'm on a smallish non-profit server. I regard it as the premium open-source step forward from IRC.

The worst problem is that there are really no channels that I care to follow.

You might want to check out https://matrixrooms.info/, which is good for a search around. Some project communities also have offtopic rooms that are good to chat in. Even very small rooms can be very active.

I use conduit. And really happy with it. Since I use 3 bridges the compose.yml is a mess. It works really nice. The sliding feature boosts all media files. But there is always something broken or misconfigured. Actually my WhatsApp bridge blocks all mediafiles and I was too busy to fix it already.

Conduit is long dead. Upgrade to tuwunnel, its successor, while its still binary compatible...

All bridges works fine here.

Continuwuity developer here - Conduit is reviving itself, and you can no longer move from Conduit to tuwunel or Continuwuity. You haven't been able to for as long as either project has existed. You might be confusing conduwuit with Conduit.

Conduwuit has another child? What the difference between continuwuity and tuwunnel?

[–] JadedBlueEyes@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

https://continuwuity.org/ or https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity

As for the difference: https://lemmy.world/post/33271240

Thanks.

I am currently on tuwunnel, might consider a continuwuity migration in the short term future maybe.

Ibwant to stay clear of any drama but stay on a future proof solution if possible.

Hard choices.

Synapse was too heavy on my resources. Moved to XMPP despite I like Matrix more.
