Which one would you recommend? I’m currently on the default instance but I want to support smaller instances for the sake of decentralization

EDIT: I’m noticing a lot of you guys are telling me about Lemmy instances. That’s not what I’m looking for! I’m looking for a Matrix Chat server!

Still, I will take that Lemmy instances in serious consideration. Thanks!

    Personally, I chose to run my own. Setup was a headache, but then I had to do things the hard way. Server on a subdomain but advertising my root domain with an Element web client running on the root. At least that was how I was setup originally. System updates borked the web client and as no one ever used it, I couldn’t be bothered to fix it. The Matrix server itself though has been running without a hickup for over 2 years. Just gone down for updates.

    If you haven’t seen this list yet, you might take a look at it and see if anything strikes your fancy. https://joinmatrix.org/servers/

    I will say that the Matrix.org homeserver is said to be rather slow as everyone seems to go there as default for some reason. Couldn’t say why. /s
