« folks can jump on board and participate via their own servers, clients, bridges, bots etc » Last time I checked, there was only one server really developped,

  I think this refers to server instances instead of server implementations.

    It does - the point is that anyone can spin up their own Matrix server (or pick an existing one) and get involved; they don't have to use the fosdem.org one. Separately, in terms of implementations: Dendrite is usable these days, albeit beta: https://matrix.org/blog/2020/10/08/dendrite-is-entering-beta https://matrix.org/blog/2020/10/08/dendrite-is-entering-beta, and meanwhile Synapse is stable. Conduit (https://conduit.rs https://conduit.rs) is making progress on federation (and works for simple use cases), and Construct (https://github.com/matrix-construct/construct https://github.com/matrix-construct/construct) exists too.

  Sibling comments already mention that this is about custom instances and bridging. Matrix is an open network, you can participate with your own server. But also note that there is a very actively developed new (official) server implementation called Dendrite. [1] It's somewhere between alpha and beta. Dendrite also has some experimental support for peer to peer.
