Synapse over Tor is pretty poor and can only federate with other Tor instances.
Clearnet support will make Synapse much more intriguing.
So I got synapse setup on nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq5xamn8ghj7dnvv45xs7tywde8g6rpvakkjuekw46nvar4vdhxgan6wumkxatzwpckk6rk0puhjdm2da5k7ce5x4kkkumjx3jkzepwdahxjmmwqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wd9hxvmckqw0xz, but have no one to talk to... What are the use cases y'all use it for? Seems like a significant effort to get folks on boarded, but I'm definitely interested since nostr comms aren't encrypted and signal is centralized and telegram is a dumpster fire.

Do you have a guide on federation from a high level for a noob? Is my understanding correct that it makes your identity valid across multiple home servers?
If you choose to federate your server (it is a setting in Config), then you will be able to join rooms on other [Tor] servers, and [Tor] users will be able to join rooms on your server, if it's a public room or you invite them, that is.
This link seemed useful, but there is a ton of stuff online explaining what federation means and how it works: https://teknikaldomain.me/post/matrix-decentralized-federated-chat/
