gollark: I managed to get my dendrite instance to join the matrix room after several minutes of waiting.

gollark: That looks like it runs its own HTTP server, which is probably not what I want. I can see about making a PR, although I'll have to spend a while looking up the shared memory stuff.
gollark: Yes, hi.

My application uses prologue and has multiple threads.
