I am hosting a Dendrite homeserver. However, I'm not happy with the pace of development of the software and I'd like to switch to Synapse.
Is there a documented way to migrate the data (rooms, chat history, users) from Dendrite to Synapse? I've used matrix-docker-ansible-deploy to set it up.

Oh boy.

The short answer, is no.

The only matrix-to-matrix server migration I know of, is the remote possibility of some day maybe it being possible to go from synapse to dendrite. If one day dendrite achieves feature parity, and work starts happening to write the software necessary to convert a synapse database and config into a dendrite database and config.

Going the other way, today? Nope.
