If I want to get my non-tech-savvy friends into using Matrix, what homeserver should I tell them to make an account on?

About the only thing I know is that matrix.org is over-crowded and they want people to use other homeservers. What are the other options for newbies?

I wish I setup the instance I run with continuwuity. I already had a synapse instance so I ended up just copying it basically.

I've thought about it. Eventually I suspect I might. There's a few reasons I'm not doing so right now though:

  • I want the server we start with to be highly reliable, and that means I'd prefer to trust a host with more admin experience than I have.
  • Self-hosting is a non-option for me right now in any case.
  • While technically I could afford to pay hosting fees, I'm trying to spend as little as possible right now.

Eventually, I think I will want to set one up, just not soon unfortunately.

If you do get arround to hosting one and you want help you can DM me here or on matrix @nebby:chaos-ex.chat

one that supports matrix auth and element call. otherwise login will be somewhat clunky, and you won't have calls.

(make sure to test them before you recommend them, I know federated.nexus, unredacted.org and 4d2.org are good)
