WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
The public room list is generally considered a bad idea, and we're seriously considering deprecating it in favour of space hierarchies - i.e. curated hierarchies of groups of rooms, so that folks who like curating lists of interesting rooms can go and do so - rather than them all being dumped in a huge mess in a linear list. There'd then be social pressure to curate the best space index, rather than it being a tragedy of the commons of random lost forgotten rooms.
In terms of where to hang out and where to use it, here are some handy spaces picked from my personal space bar...
* https://matrix.to/#/#community:matrix.org <-- rooms about Matrix itself
* https://matrix.to/#/#space:ansible.com <-- rooms about Ansible
* https://matrix.to/#/#activitypub-community:codelutin.com <-- rooms about Activity Pub
* https://matrix.to/#/#wikimedia-space:matrix.org <-- rooms about the Wikimedia community
* https://matrix.to/#/#solarpunks:solarpunk.cloud <-- a random solarpunk community i lurk in...
* https://matrix.to/#/#rlang:matrix.org <-- rooms about the R language
* https://matrix.to/#/#buddies-of-budgie:matrix.org <-- rooms about the Budgie desktop environment
etc etc. This ends up being way higher signal-to-noise than the room list (although there's always the risk that a space will get forgotten and neglected).
Obviously this selection is biased a bit towards open source software, given that's what I'm into, but there are loads of other communities too. Nobody's yet started a big global space tree to help find them (probably because subspace performance needs some work), so the best bet for discovering them otherwise is probably simply through DDG or Google or whatever, looking for folks advertising them on their websites.
Alternatively, you can head off into IRC or some other Matrix server (e.g. mozilla.org) from the room directory selector in your matrix client of choice. Many of my rooms are actually bridged into IRC, XMPP, Slack, Discord etc rather than entirely native Matrix.
Yup, this is not an acquisition of any kind; Rocket.Chat just went and independently added native Matrix interoperability into their core product. It's basically celebrating this PR: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/pull/23688 :)
tabbott: we should so do this with Zulip - I think Matrix almost has all the threading primitives needed to bridge successfully now!
I use it as a one-stop-shop for messaging. I setup a Synapse server ~5 years ago and since then have convinced many of my close family and friends to join my server (or another). Now many of the folks I want to chat with are regular users of Matrix. For some of my stone-age friends that are still on WhatsApp, I run a bridge [1] so that I don't need to look beyond my Matrix client to see WhatsApp messages. For other random SMS messages, I use the dated SmsMatrix [2] to push text messages so I can see/reply from Matrix. Beyond that, I also use Matrix to connect to several open source communities (e.g. Mailu.io [3]).

I'm conveying my personal experience with the software.
> There are tonnes of unfederated Matrix servers out there,
No way to know for sure, but it certainly isn't a well-supported configuration.
> History retention does apply to encrypted events.
> Note that message retention policies don't apply to state events.

> And Synapse only tends to use lots of resources when federated into large public rooms (these days)
Synapse used 30-50% of 1 CPU and ~1GB memory at idle with 1 room and 0 connected clients.
Sounds exactly like a websocket issue. Typically a matter of making sure you have the right options on the proxy block.
Here is a recent example for nginx that handles websockets: https://github.com/geekgonecrazy/rocketchat-matrix-federatio...
