@mia @scatty_hannah @miah Dendrite is not ready for production use, so you are bound to run into various problems. Synapse is a bit heavier, but can be used for daily use. I hope Dendrite reaches maturity sooner than later, it's good to have alternative server implementations.
@cos @scatty_hannah @miah my biggest issue with synapse was the usual Python stuff where you cannot just walk into upgrading Python to a new major version without utterly breaking your venvs, plus the whole deal where with one user in 2 conference rooms and 2 private conversations idle synapse managed to constantly hog 4-8% of a core. (Idle dendrite uses 0.2-0.4%.)
