Any reason why dendrite was chosen? It seems to be no longer in development anymore, I’m not ever sure if it’s receiving security patches. Seems like Continuwuity would be a better choice if you want something lightweight

Honestly, I just wasn’t aware there were other implementations other than Synapse and Dendrite. I feel a bit disappointed in myself if I just installed abandonware lol

I have been burned by this plenty of times in my self-hosting life. Nothing to be ashamed of. I don’t think there will be any issues migrating at this point so early on.

The github github.com/matrix-org/dendrite dunno if this is the same one but it says on the page “This repository was archived by the owner on Nov 25, 2024. It is now read-only.”

The current repo is here: github.com/element-hq/dendrite
It moved, same as synapse.

Ah, so I was wrong about it not receiving security patches but it does look like the development stopped and I doubt that it will resume anytime soon given the financial woes of Matrix Foundation

Oh glad to hear it. Got a favourite?

Yep, Tuwunel or Continuwuity seem to be the only reasonable alternatives to Synapse right now. Both are forks of Conduwuit. Tuwunel is the one that was marked by Conduwuit’s author as THE continuation of Conduwuit, and it has some corporate backing. But apparently Tuwunel’s maintainer is a jerk, and after your standard open-source drama community gathered around Continuwuity instead, and it’s the latter that seems to be recommended everywhere whenever someone asks for a Synapse alternative. Anyway, either of them would be better choice than dendrite at this point.
