Is there any disadvantages in using Matrix.org official server?
Is there any disadvantages in using Matrix.org official server?
I mean, instead of running your own Matrix server?
You're viewing a single thread.
One advantage I found was the ability to run my own bridges, which allow you to connect Matrix to other services, like Signal, LinkedIn, or Telegram.
Is there a dependency on the instance, will it be blocked otherwise? I have activated the bridge to Telegram and Discord for my channels in the channel itself.
most bridges are appservices, which must be hardcoded in Synapse(/Dendrite/Conduit/...) config
Otherwise depend on what is called a "non-puppeting bridge", self-hosted bot that reposts messages on behalf of itself. Problem is, reactions and other multi-agent interactions won't be a subject for bridging. If you absolutely need those, you have to host a Matrix server (like optimized, but unstable, Conduit or the hungry Synapse) or partner up with another server owner to activate your appservice...
You can puppet with your own server as well
