Well, you can try sync v3 today via sync-v3 proxy (which is written in Go) and Hydrogen, as per the video linked in the post. It solves the initial sync problem

The main thing that bogs down Synapse is if users join massive federated rooms and you end up replicating huge amounts of traffic onto your server. So we’re working on that too via Fast Joins and better-than-full-mesh federation for P2P.
- jimmygrapes 5y agoThe following comment is not well considered. I once installed Litecoin Core (on Windows 10) on my desktop PC. I had Comcast (branded as Xfinity) broadband, whatever speeds my region and apartment supported. I had a 1TB monthly limit before throttling. I lived in the east SF bay area. I downloaded Litecoin Core software at the beginning of the month. I got dial-up speeds for the rest of the month. I got a 5x average bill that I had to negotiate down. Nobody on my server even cared about the federated rooms, it was just me trying to give them more flexibility. Allowing federation with Matrix has the same issue, and I know it's being addressed, but I want to hammer this home. Self hosting means normal, poor people, too, not just EU government entities and Upcoming Big Tech partners. I know you know this, but every advocate needs reminders here and there.
- Arathorn 5y agoTotally agreed. Our goal is to support self-hosting on an RPi on modest broadband... or just to self-host P2P on the app itself. We are categorically not optimising (in the medium/long term, at least) for requiring massive hardware in order to self-host.
