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
I’m Jade, a programmer. Check out my website, I guess?

Your issues with voice calls are likely because you didn’t set them up, and the web client was using the fallback server.

If you’re British you can just say continooity. American English speakers have to say contin-uwu-ity :3

We have over a thousand active deployments. We’ve got bugs, but we’re working on them. I’d suggest joining our community rooms :3
Continuwuity - a self-hostable Matrix Homeserver - just got a new release.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Is there a good email server that can be run through Docker?English

On desktop? Yes. On Element X? Not yet. Requires additional setup, as it’s not a core part of the homeserver
Generally you can’t tag stuff from your phone. Either tag it on MusicBrainz.org / ListenBrainz.org and then pull that in via Picard or Beets or make playlists
A lot of the people reporting issues with Matrix being slow and resource heavy are reporting issues with Synapse, which is Element’s big Python implementation. My Continuwuity instance, which is a server written in Rust, uses a fraction of a CPU and a total storage in the hundreds of megabytes. A few less features, but it has most of the ones people care about.

I kind of don’t want to bother replying to your random claims, but I’ll bite a little:
That post is now five years old, and almost completely wrong or outdated. That first paragraph is also absurd fearmongering - and both technically impossible for matrix and against Element’s buisiness interests. I develop my own homeserver software, and it’s recently become more popular than dendrite. I use a client developed by a friend that seems like it has more features than element (although it’s less user friendly).
Being an official standard isn’t working out particularly well for ActivityPub.

For spam protection, we use tools like meowlnir or draupnir with the cooperation of the homeserver to allow completely blocking spam invites - so if a matrix ID goes evil you can leave the room you have with them and add them to a ban list, and you can subscribe to a variety of other ban lists to ban things in advance

Matrix is just as much as a standard as XMPP, if not more so because extensions actually get merged into the core spec

I’m talking about https://github.com/element-hq/matrix-authentication-service which is the only implementation of https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3861 right now.
Yeah, saml is a nightmare! Never make me touch saml, please 🥺
In Continuwuity, the first user created is the admin user - so creating a user using either a registration token, or an admin command via --exec, the emergency password, the interactive console, etc would work.

Hi there, Continuwuity developer here - This seems like an awesome idea! You might also want to see if you can use/extend the new oauth specification from MAS to create a more ‘Log in with Social’ like experience, too, although only Synapse supports that right now

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Wondering if running a single user Lemmy is an overkillEnglish
6 monthsThis is like the opposite of what you want to do for complex software - don’t add more abstraction, or you won’t know what to do when stuff goes wrong!

You can just run the build locally and push the output to a branch. Same as people using other SSGs with GitHub pages have been doing for ages
