What is it?

Continuwuity is a Matrix homeserver written in Rust. Matrix is an open, federated chat protocol, and a homeserver hosts user accounts and rooms and exchanges messages with other servers in the network. Continuwuity is a community fork of conduwuit, which has been archived and is no longer maintained.

The project focuses on keeping a stable, lightweight, and efficient Matrix server that runs on modest hardware. Its stated goals include better specification compliance, fixing bugs and performance issues inherited from conduwuit, and adding features that homeserver administrators need. Installation instructions and a deployment guide are published on the project website.

The project accepts outside contributions through a pull request review process, with changes tested on tester servers before merging. Sample public homeservers are listed for people who want to try a Matrix account before running their own.
