About the only thing I know is that matrix.org is over-crowded and they want people to use other homeservers. What are the other options for newbies?

one that supports matrix auth and element call. otherwise login will be somewhat clunky, and you won't have calls.

I selfhost but before that I used https://tchncs.de/ can recommand. Of course the official matrix.org is always an option for any noobs

You could set one up for you and your friends its not too difficult

I've thought about it. Eventually I suspect I might. There's a few reasons I'm not doing so right now though:

  • I want the server we start with to be highly reliable, and that means I'd prefer to trust a host with more admin experience than I have.
  • Self-hosting is a non-option for me right now in any case.
  • While technically I could afford to pay hosting fees, I'm trying to spend as little as possible right now.

Eventually, I think I will want to set one up, just not soon unfortunately.
