| A Matrix server is like the home to all your chats. It's where all the messages are stored (encrypted). It's like, say, //gmail.com// or //hotmail.com//, but yours. In fact, you can choose a public Matrix server, like **matrix.org**, or create your own by installing a Matrix server software. | A Matrix server is like the home to all your chats.

| There are many Matrix servers around, you can even pick the one you prefer. A very popular one is [[https://github.com/element-hq/synapse|Synapse]], another growing, younger, and promising one is [[https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel|Tuwunel]], the project that is continuing the now defunct Conduwuit, which in turn is the follow up after Conduit was abandoned. | There are many Matrix servers around, you can even pick the one you prefer. A very popular one is [[https://github.com/element-hq/synapse|Synapse]] but it's heavy and slow since it aims at perfection and it's been created a long time ago without too much optimization. |

| | Another growing, younger, and promising one is [[https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/|Continuwuity]], the project that is continuing the now defunct Conduwuit, which in turn is the follow up after Conduit was abandoned. This is written in Rust and it's pretty fast and efficient for a home server. |

| | A list of clients can be found [[https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/|here]]. I like Fluffy Chat, but Element-X somehow is faster, but it lacks some basic stuff like emoticons (really??). |
