    Do you mind if I ask how you set up your own matrix instance? What software did you use? Are you hosted in the cloud or a home lab type setup? Sorry for so many questions but I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now

      I would also recommend the Matrix-Docker-Ansible-Deploy playbook for setting up a Matrix server. It supports Synapse (the “mainline” server implementation), Conduit, and Dendrite as the actual homeserver backend.

      It does take a while to go through the sheer number of options they have available, but it makes it incredibly easy to spin up a Matrix server, as well as update one. I haven’t setup any bridges with it, but its nice to know that it also supports a great deal of them, and can just be toggled on through the playbook settings.

      The documentation is also fantastic, and there’s a massive community in case you run into any trouble with it.
