About

The community framework for small to enterprise communities that is extensible, scalable, and completely free. Regardless of the size of your community, Flarum excels on every level. Building on top of the Flarum core experience with extensions allows you to customize your community to your needs. Permission groups allow easy configuration of permissions and members. Granting access to categories, but also defining global and category-limited actions like moderation, flagging, and much more. Whether you prefer a simple, bbcode/Markdown editor for typing or need a full-fledged WYSIWYG editor for your users, Flarum works with either of those. Increase engagement with your users using notifications in-browser, through email, or various other channels. Installing a WebSocket extension allows snappy interactivity to your community with real-time updates. Flarum is open source so anyone can install it anywhere, even on a shared hosting plan.
