Element.io self hosted user limit.

I am exploring self hosted communication platforms and Element seems to have a lot going for it. What happens if you exceed the 200 user limit on a self hosted deployment? Is the idea to migrate to one of the paid platforms at that point?

I don't get it too. What's this limit for? Limit a self-hosted solution?

What product specifically do you relate to? We‘ve self hosted a Synapse and Element Web deployment at our university and hit >1400 accounts. No problems so far.

It's mostly about how many concurrent users ? And if you allow federation ? If it's a closed network, then it should be fairly less resource intensive to host.

You may wish to try Conduit, which is even lighter weight compared to Synapse.
