Does Anyone Host a Discord Alternative? Like a Matrix/Synapse Server?

As r/selfhosted seems to have shutdown due to the reddit api changes (rip), I wanted to see if anyone has worked with these services before?

How do they compare to Discord and how hard is it to maintain, as the setup looks pretty in depth for matrix and synapse. How did you convince your user base to use it over Discord.

I've hosted TS3 for about 8 years and are looking for alternatives, as we have to use Discord for screen sharing.

Thanks!

  • Yeah, I'm hosting a Synapse instance; have been for a few years now. The biggest complication was the reverse proxy set-up, because I didn't want matrix in my handle. šŸ˜ But they've got great docs around that (and more) these days; and there's a good community in the Synapse Admins room too.
