A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

Synapse is a common server because it is the most featureful, but other servers like conduit and dendrite work fine... Bridges are written to interact with the feature set of the server, so other matrix servers may not support all the same things that make the bridge work.
Not sure about the yunohost setup, but there is a lot of documentation around the Ansible deployment and it includes every bridge imaginable, I would start there for a better supported solution.
Try matrix conduit. Most bridges should work with it.
I'm using conduit, it seems lighter then Synapse and easier to install. Bridges (also call appservices) are working fine (I tried may trick WhatsApp)
