So apparently the Federation is not a great fan of multiple layers of proxy on top of tunneling... Resulting in my homelab Synapse instance constantly getting defederated, connection silently failing, and generally not a great experience.

So had to go back to VPS. At least I saved some money by switching to IPv6 fully and utilizing NAT64 to federate.

Maybe I'll give homelab Synapse another go in the future.

With Mastodon you just tunnel Puma and Streaming over wireguard to your frontend VPS while the backend sits on your home network. Then for the side...

Let me just say... Synapse documentation is bad. Like really, really bad. However, despite that I managed to scale my instance with generic and media workers. Now it just zooms! (I also wiped it and started fresh to remove "matrix" from my homeserver name, because it bothered me...)
