There's mtrx.nz, which is run by the same people as mastodon.nz. There's also iridescent.nz, which @d72d5211 runs. I have no hesitation in recommending either.

 @58db300d @adc6f0d6 our Matrix is matrix.iridescent.nz (with the Element front end at chat.iridescent.nz)... I'd be happy to make you a user if you'd like (we don't have open rego due to the spam risk)...

Having just sold you on matrix, I ought to warn you that the software is a bit... temperamental at present. 

The core developers (Element.io) are in the middle of a big sprint to deliver Matrix 2.0, and implement all the changes it involves in dev versions of the server and apps (eg Element X):

But this has happened once before (Matrix 1.0 and Riot/ RiotX), and performance got *much* better once that work was shipped. Hopefully it will again.
