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?

    Element X requires MAS for registration by design, but login is whatever for now. They’re very adamant about making the app MAS-centric.

    Also, open registration will get your instance banned from matrix.org homeserver afaik. Probably not an issue if you don’t plan to federate with them, but worth noting.

        If by “open registration” you mean that anybody with your domain name can just go and create an account with no extra verification, then that’s interesting. Good to know.
