gollark: (they run a public homeserver, for purposes)
gollark: In Element connected to matrix.org, that is.
gollark: There's a room directory listing them in size order on matrix.org.
gollark: There are some big servers, like the Rust one.
gollark: The main issue I have with Matrix is that because it needs to keep all the room history ever and resolve events with it, in big (thousands of people and long history) rooms your server might run out of RAM.
