# NodeBB

> Host forum discussions with live updates, chat and fediverse support

NodeBB is forum software for operating a discussion community. Topics, categories, and tags organize posts, with live updates and notifications as conversations develop. Chat and direct messaging support communication between members.

Roles and permissions control access, including private categories for particular groups. Themes and plugins adapt the forum, and single sign-on connects accounts with other services. Optional ActivityPub support links conversations with the wider fediverse. Operators can run the open-source software or choose hosting services, then configure the community's structure and access rules around the discussions they want members to have.
