 den identitätsserver belasse ich auf https://vector.im ?

 So hab ich es bei mir gemacht.

 unsere sollte auch gehen. Zum Zeitpunkt meiner Registrierung
 ging dies allerdings nicht. 

Wir haben keinen, es wird momentan empfohlen vector.im oder matrix.org
zu nehmen:

"Identity servers have the job of mapping email addresses and other 3rd
Party IDs (3PIDs) to Matrix user IDs, as well as verifying the ownership
of 3PIDs before creating that mapping.

They are not where accounts or credentials are stored - these live on
home servers. Identity Servers are just for mapping 3rd party IDs to
matrix IDs.

This process is very security-sensitive, as there is obvious risk of
spam if it is too easy to sign up for Matrix accounts or harvest 3PID
data. In the longer term, we hope to create a decentralised system to
manage it (matrix-doc #712), but in the meantime, the role of managing
trusted identity in the Matrix ecosystem is farmed out to a cluster of
known trusted ecosystem partners, who run 'Matrix Identity Servers' such
as Sydent, whose role is purely to authenticate and track 3PID logins
and publish end-user public keys.

You can host your own copy of Sydent, but this will prevent you reaching
other users in the Matrix ecosystem via their email address, and prevent
them finding you. We therefore recommend that you use one of the
centralised identity servers at https://matrix.org or https://vector.im
for now.

To reiterate: the Identity server will only be used if you choose to
associate an email address with your account, or send an invite to
another user via their email address."
