Forem Is the New Community Web

Transparency, accessibility, and security through open source.

Why Forem?Get Started

The reason you joined the Internet.

Sharing space is supposed to bring us closer together — cyberspace shouldn't be any different.

You deserve real estate on the Internet, not rented plots from overlords of the web.

It’s time for the Internet to be what it was meant to be — community for everyone.

Forem provides open-source tools to help you host a thriving, focused, and adaptable community.

Structure your Forem

Our starter pack comes with a collection of tools to help you:

  1. Greet new members
  2. Rally around common obsessions
  3. Publish your thoughts

...all while keeping discussions active, healthy, and enjoyable.

You can also switch on any combination of optional enhancement to build a space that’s entirely for you.
