I’ve been thinking of self hosting a mastodon (gotosocial, more specifically) + a matrix server on an old computer I have, but sometimes I might need to turn it off for 2 days or more (not to mention some energy or internet outages that might happen here)

I suppose with the mastodon part the server will properly sync and download whatever’s been missing, but I’m not entirely sure that’ll be the case with matrix. If anyone sent me a DM on there while my server was down, would it get through after it was back up?

    I think they are asking about a personal instance, not something federated necessarily. A lag server.
