Are they federated? Did you change anything from the default / recommend settings?

Well, I can’t recall every minute detail I’ve delt with a year ago. I shared my past experience and asked if it would be more or less the same.

Oh, so you never even had a matrix server hosted, but you’re telling me I’m wrong. Hahaha!

Sorry - so the default, recommended settings try to cache absolutely everything from a single group, including cat gifs posted 5 years ago? I’m sorry, but I expected the default settings more… sane?

Well, I wanted to try hosting myself, since I love self hosting things and people keep repeating how amazing Matrix is - my experience (waiting 20 minutes to join a single group, or it simply failing) didn’t convince me. It’s possible that I’m the wrong here, in that case I’m happy to hear solutions.

Not waiting 20 minutes in 2023 for a messaging platform to sync if I join a single group with default settings.
