Meet Flarum

Flarum is free, open-source software for running a discussion forum. Administrators organize conversations and set access through groups and permissions, with moderation and flagging tools for handling posts. Appearance can be configured in the admin settings, changed with a theme, or adjusted through custom CSS.

Extensions add options such as different editors, email digests, and real-time updates. Developers can use the extension ecosystem and API to adapt the Laravel-based software for a particular community. A forum can therefore choose how members compose posts, receive updates, and participate in different categories while keeping permissions tied to its own group structure.
