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?
I don’t use synapse so I cannot directly answer the question. But this is not the support forum for Synapse either, so I think proposing a different approach could be of benefit for the community …
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.
