Hosting a matrix server with synapse, how do you handle registration? (sopuli.xyz)

To the people here that host a synapse server, how do you handle registration?

Do you use the new matrix authentification server? How does that work?

If not, registration works via element web, where you can have a captcha to avoid a bot swarm. However the only accepted captcha in the synapse config is recaptcha. Have you read the news? Well, we will have to change the captcha method. I think I read somewhere it was possible to use hcaptcha on elementweb however the setting does not exist in synapse, or I did not find it.

How do we do?

Don't get me wrong, suggestions are appreciated, but you're answer is absolutely typical of a Stack overflow "huhuh well don't do it wrong then" comment. You could have, for example, said you don't use Synapse but this is why you like Continuwuity. (edit: not prescribing speech, giving an example of how your comment could have read better)

As well, I take issue with the idea that people can only ask for help in sanctioned forums. This is a self-hosting community, after all; I am here not only to learn but to share what I learn, which I thought was the whole point.

Don't get me wrong, you are a bit patronizing.

I was only giving a suggestion based on my personal experience, I don't feel obliged to respond directly to their question, as well I do not expect OP must go to a synapse forum, any question is always welcome.

I think OP was looking for fellow lemmiters experience on matrix and the topic, so I felt like giving my experience.

I was a bit brief yes, but not out of line, oli think.

Your comment was correct, just a bit patronizing.

I am not patronising and that was not my intent. Read whatever you want into it of course, I can't stop you.
