I've been trying to get this running for days, but I've had no luck. I follow the install instructions and when I get to the last step of actually starting the service, it fails, seemingly because there's some issue with the config file that I can't figure out. I was hoping this would be a good alternative for ESS Community, which I had no luck with either.

Without Synapse migration it's sadly still hard for longer established servers to migrate/impossible.
I can't take this project name seriously. Like it's made by weebly pimply teenagers or tweens.
It's a successor to conduwuit, so the name checks out 🤷
What do you mean it checks out? That's just as immature of a project name.
I can't pronounce this name even after trying a few times.
If you're British you can just say continooity. American English speakers have to say contin-uwu-ity :3
Damn furrys... stupid, sexy furrys... ~/pf~
Anyone running this that wants to comment on the stability? I am using synapse/ap on my test container and was wondering if this is worth keeping a closer eye on..
I run Continuwuity since day zero, actually since Conduwuit. Works great, super stable and very lightweight.
One downside I found of Continuwuity was no SMTP setup for password resets, or new user registration.
That is being worked on as you write :3
Awesome to hear!
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
