23.6.2 is the stable debian version if not using backports, so I guess you have stable without backports. The drawback of doing so is that you don’t have any functional update (you still have security updates) but the advantage is that your freedombox should be even more stable.

Backports can be activated in the freedombox interface (but I can’t remember where exactly). Once activated, there is no way to deactivate them (it could create problems), so you should think before activating backports.

As @Avron mentioned above, you could try enabling backports and see if it becomes available again. However, be aware that the change is not reversible.

I’m on Debian 12/FreedomBox 23.20 and Matrix Synapse is available.
