I got distracted from my work so I made some Continuwuity propaganda. Continuwuity is a lightweights Matrix chat server that you can self-host pretty easily. Give it a try :3

Does it have easy gif embedding like discord? I tried another chat app and it felt so stripped down without gifs or emojis

Depends on the client you use. Sable has loads of features like that.

I'm planning on trying to self-host it on OpenBSD ngl. I do wonder. Does continuwuity support multiple independent domains on a single instance like Ejabberd does?

[–] JadedBlueEyes@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We have a few BSD users! And no, it doesn't.

Ah well, good to know!

How are the moderation tools? I see matrix having a big troll problem, enough to put me off of it.

Moderation tools are powerful but seperate to the server. Asgard.chat offers some hosted options, but meowlnir, Draupnir and policyserv are the usual tools.

I'm sure you meant something else, but I can't deduce what. Dedicated? Separate?

How do I actually create an account? I've tried deploying a test server but when I try to create an account with Element X it just says the server needs to be upgraded to support matrix authentication service and account creation. FluffyChat doesn't let me create an account either, it just shows me a login page.

As I'm just testing the federation port isn't actually accessible, would that break account creation or do you have to use the console to create accounts? I've never used matrix before
