    Mattermost user here, I self-host an instance for friends and family (and their children).

    To upgrade and discover I’d lost access to the message history on my own instance was infuriating. I’m investigating alternatives right now.

    So far Zulip seems reasonable - although Google and especially Apple being shits about push notifications means you can’t self-host push notification servers 🙄 So I’m considering forgoing push notifications altogether and leaning on email notifications instead.

      Have you explored what it takes to self-host a notification server? I explored Zulip, and it looks similar, but I haven’t explored the notification server yet.
