To the people here that host a synapse server, how do you handle registration?
Do you use the new matrix authentification server? How does that work?
If not, registration works via element web, where you can have a captcha to avoid a bot swarm. However the only accepted captcha in the synapse config is recaptcha. Have you read the news? Well, we will have to change the captcha method. I think I read somewhere it was possible to use hcaptcha on elementweb however the setting does not exist in synapse, or I did not find it.
How do we do?
Use Continuwuity instead of synapse… Faster and much less resource hungry
Yeah probably but now I have a running instance with other users than me and I don’t see any tutorial/doc to make the switch.
It isn’t possible to switch non-destructively.
wasn’t there a DB conversion document?

I don’t use synapse so I cannot directly answer the question. But this is not the support forum for Synapse either, so I think proposing a different approach could be of benefit for the community …

Don’t get me wrong, you are a bit patronizing.
I was only giving a suggestion based on my personal experience, I don’t feel obliged to respond directly to their question, as well I do not expect OP must go to a synapse forum, any question is always welcome.
I think OP was looking for fellow lemmiters experience on matrix and the topic, so I felt like giving my experience.
I was a bit brief yes, but not out of line, oli think.
Your comment was correct, just a bit patronizing.

That’s alright. It’s not a straight solution but it is an acceptable input. Future hosters might read this thread.

Both, it’s more of an open question because I have not taken the time to properly inform myself about it eventhough I’ve read something here and there. Thanks!
