(solved) What is a good Matrix (public) home server besides the big matrix.org one?

Using large instances kind of defeats the points of the fediverse, so I would like to move away from the matrix.org homeserver. What are solid Matrix homeservers that works well? Preferably ones hosted in Europe rather than the U.S. for lower latency.

My little laptop server is already full of other stuff and is slightly struggling hosting a bunch of other stuff (Nextcloud, Immich, Minecraft server), and I only have it exposed to my local network (since I doubt my ability to securely selfhost something exposed to the internet and don’t have the time to deal with DDoS, bots, crawlers, etc) so am not looking to self host my own Matrix instance.

edit: I have decided to go with matrix.glasgow.social

join some matrix room that you like and look around for people’s homeservers

the cinny client maintains a short list of servers in their default config that I sometimes send new users to

in case you for any reason cannot open github here is the current list:

"converser.eu",
"matrix.org",
"mozilla.org",
"unredacted.org",
"xmr.se"

Actually while I am here I’ll add that I have heard good things about tchncs.de/en/matrix/ although personally have not used it (I host my own)
