What would likely help a lot if it was easier to get set up, particularly on a VPS or something like that. Small businesses and or larger community projects would be more likely to jump on possibly.

Another thing is ability to easily join, a lot of the above just have an easy link to join their discord server, not sure how easy matrix on boarding is currently as I still haven't gotten my instance functional yet (not even half done with synapse configuration seemingly)

I mean, there are quite a few such providers: https://etke.cc/

Fair enough, I do mean moreso for self host in a way, like I've seen some game hosting servers, they have a VPS they already paid for and use Pelican or Pterodactyl to host it all, being able to throw matrix into the mix easily would be great in those cases. Seems like this would be a separate situation, which is definitely fine, just not exactly what I meant.

Well if you have a VPS then installing the dockerized Synapse just takes a few minutes.

I'll have to take a look, I have synapse running but I can't actually connect to my server at all, need to set up the database and sign-ups and all that shit.

Are you using the dockerized version? If so it sets up (a) database etc.

I was being a bit lazy and tried this first https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=elementsynapse

I do have a few docker stacks running so I should just bite the bullet and go that route instead probably.

(lol didn't meant to make this chain about my situation)
