- go do some :P
- yes, seems there's a package for freebsd too https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/INSTALL.md#freebsd
- no
- yeah, a synapse server with federation can get pretty resource intensive, mainly RAM and disk
- not really, as chat and microblogging are quite different, technically someone's feed can be gotten through rss, which you hand to some bot that sends it in your room
@cobra2 @claudiom a bot like that would only show toots, not do any interaction/posting
afaik there's no mastodon bridge for matrix, nor irc, nor jabber/xmpp
if you mean bridge to those:
irc https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc
xmpp https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-bifrost
both can be either selfhosted, or you can use them over federation from matrix.org for example
@cobra2 @claudiom @f0x The whole Matrix ecosystem is not trivial to set up. It‘s a complex beast and a lot of stuff to set up. It‘s not like setting up your personal git server by flipping on SSH.
It involves a good amount of interacting components for your own instance alone.
Bridges and Bots are mostly not easy and on top if that.
Don‘t give up, it is a lot to grasp.
I'm still reading up on all this. It's hard to infer usability information for my usecase from the manual.
And like all new projects, there is a new word for everything. I.e. Bridges instead of plugins.
