I want a private place where I can talk to specific people.

I’d imagine I want something like:

  • By default, nobody can register a new account on my server
  • By default, nobody can view or join the rooms on my server
  • If a friend has an account on a different matrix server, I can invite them to mine

I probably want some kind of federation with other instances (eg, where my friends might register their accounts), but not some free-for-all. Can someone recommend the right settings? The server is running synapse.

    Open registration is a flag in your config file. Its normally not there by default. Plus half the mobile apps do not support account creation pages of you have the flag turned on.

    Room settings are what controls view/join roles from federated instances.

    Im pretty new to this space, so if your up for talking shop.
