I’m new here and excited to be part of this community!
I’m currently planning a non-profit community project and exploring options for building a modern, feature-rich forum. While I’ve been familiar with MyBB for a long time, it seems like the platform isn’t evolving much anymore. So, I’m considering Flarum as an alternative for my upcoming project.
Here are my basic requirements:
Mobile Support: Either an Android app or a fully mobile-responsive design is essential.
Invitation System: Users should be able to invite others, with invitation details displayed on profiles (e.g., "Invited by" and "Invited to").
Installation & Updates: I need a simple way to handle installation and updates via cPanel.
Freeware: As this is a non-profit initiative, I need the platform to be open-source or free.
User Features: User badges, ratings, and permission-level access for better engagement and moderation.
My Questions:
- Does Flarum meet these requirements out of the box, or will I need significant customization?
- Are there must-have extensions/plugins I should consider?
- How easy is it to manage updates and maintenance via cPanel?
- How does Flarum compare to MyBB in terms of performance and flexibility?
- Any hidden costs or challenges I should be aware of?
Your advice will mean a lot as I’m making a decision for this project. Thanks for having me here—I’m looking forward to learning and contributing!
Take Love
