Any pointers on how that works :-D ?

Homeserver is essentially a distributed chat relay so clients post messages to rooms and the server relays those messages to its peers

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

And the server is where?

[-] nemesis1733@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Official homeserver (https://phoenixim.site/) is hosted on a VPS and all homeservers are interconnected via federation

Thanks.

So the VPS acts as a jump start or bootstrap and then it's not used any more?

If so, then I must say nice job.

If not then it's kind of a not so decentralised, right?

[-] nemesis1733@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah official homeserver also acts as a bootstrap server

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Can discussions survive without it, after they have started?

[-] nemesis1733@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

yes

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Thank you for your patience :-)
