MODERATORS
Do you have a recommendation for which project to host and/or clients to use? There are so many.
Tuwunel or Contiuwuity for the server and Commet for the client(though presently you'll need to provide another client to register)
Why do you think that’s a good suggestion for a newcomer?
The servers I suggested are much lighter and simpler to setup than synapse. Commet is very Discord like which lets you on board people much easier than Element. It also supports voice rooms unlike Cinny(waiting for this to merge https://github.com/cinnyapp/cinny/pull/2680)
I host two homeserver, one on synapse and one on continuwuity, both pretty small (tens of users), but with users in lots of large rooms. The second one was significantly easier to set up, and uses a lot less resources.
Also, element and element X work, but aren't great. It depends on the user, of course, but I don't think you get people by giving them the 'dumbed down' version.
Get element desktop or element x, and start by just having an account on matrix.org. If you are reasonably nerdy and have hardware or a VPS, then start a synapse server.
