Re: Conduit: Simple, fast and reliable chat server powered by Matrix
#2One thing I didn't like about Matrix: I had a single server with 3 or 4 other users. In a few months, the database ballooned to, like, 80GB. User-uploaded content, including text, was in the ballpark of 2 or 3GB. Is there any way to clear out the cache of data received from old servers, say, anything more than 2 weeks old, and re-retrieve it if needed?

#3How does this relate to Synapse? Dendrite tests against https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest and has issues for “are we synapse yet” — I can’t see any discussion of this for Conduit (not even a discussion on why they don’t want to be like Synapse).

Zulip isn't a Matrix server. Zulip doesn't federate.
If you want a private, non-federated chat server -- for your organization, basically -- Zulip is awesome.
If you want federated chat, Zulip doesn't do that.

Looks like SyTest is primarily oriented towards use with Synapse, and the dendrite folks are wrapping it up for their own CI integration. Perhaps Conduit could reuse some of their work, although IIRC Conduit is using GitLab and Dendrite is using GitHub Actions.
Separately, it seems that Conduit is not orienting itself as a drop in replacement for Synapse. At least at the current moment. There are a number of notable feature gaps that I recall being mentioned last time I was in the Matrix room.

#8I might have missed something, but the page is very simplistic and assumes you know what Matrix is and how to use this; a lot of time is spent on the installation through different means, but none how to use the server itself, either by use of a client?

Since every matrix server requires you create its own user id, I never understood the benefit of being federated.

Was the link changed?
What is Matrix?
Matrix is an open network for secure and decentralized communication. Users from every Matrix homeserver can chat with users from all other Matrix servers. You can even use bridges to communicate with users outside of Matrix, like a community on Discord.
And I see no installation information.
