So I’m in the process of moving my discord server over to matrix. I rented a VPS with 2 cores/2gb of ram for this. What I’m having issues with is media store and federation. I believe I have the media_store configured corrected as I can post images in my own channels, however I get Error 500 while attempting to upload a profile picture with no other information. On the federation side of things, I joined #matrix:matrix.org on my server it syncs for a few seconds, my ram shoots up to 2gb usage and hard locks until I restart synapse. Am I missing a config flag? Or just not enough RAM to federate with an instance that big. Thanks

    As others said, Synapse can sometimes be very resource-hungry. It might be worth giving a try to Conduit and Dendrite, which are alternative Matrix server implementations and especially Conduit seems to be focused to by lightweight. Although I do not have any personal experience with them and it seems that they are most likely a lot less mature than Synapse at the moment.
