Free Flarum hosting on an expert platform by FreeFlarum.com
Wow that's nice!
I used FreeFlarum to make a site. I cannot figure out how to make tags or hierarchies. I assumed there would be a tags location in admin settings, but I don't see it there.
ShawnPConroy it should be available as last entry in the admin area; if it isn't then you might need to enable the extension first under "extensions"
Sanguine What made you go with Hetzner? Purely asking out of curiosity. ?
- Their cloud control panel is really good
- I've used their cloud platform for another high traffic project (>20M pageviews) and it performed flawlessly.
- Their prices are quite low. Probably because they have such massive economies of scale.

When beta 8 is released, will there be any announcement on what extensions will be installed or uninstalled?

When is FreeFlarum going to propose premium plans ? And with a paid plan, will it be possible to insert Adsense in the forum ?
Thanks

Adding a dns relay service would be the bomb. Allow users easily link a custom domain probably by adding a CNAME record pointing to their FlarumHosting sub-domain.
Kudos!
Would also like to know what the team behind FreeFlarum is, and whether you're looking for extra hands (I can definitely contribute at leisure time).
kungfupanda Premium plans > no date as of yet! But with Premium plans, Adsense will certainly be possible.
DanielTheGeek Allow users easily link a custom domain probably by adding a CNAME record pointing to their FlarumHosting sub-domain.
That is already possible ? What do you mean with "dns relay service" ?

Hey, that's a great offer! Team is just me at the moment. What would you like to do / what are you good at?

Sanguine Hey, sorry for not being clear enough.
By DNS relay service, I meant having a way of programmatically manipulating the DNS table, pointing the internal subdomain to the custom one. I'm curious about how you implemented this because the TTL is practically instant.
About joining ya,
I see the big picture, there's a future for this project, besides I'm a fan of services that promote startups and small businesses. There are many ways I can help, as I'm a full stack dev...
I'm willing to help out on the website, it should look more like a SaaS platform and needs a better and more secure onboarding and in the nearest feature maybe work on the ease of accessibility for non-tech savvy users by building a multi-platform bot for managing accounts and instances from third-party apps like Slack, Telegram, Messenger and even for developers by building a CLI tool similar to Heroku CLI so they can do things like:
// Create an app
$ freeflarum create example-app
// Attach a domain to the app
$ freeflarum domains:add example-app.com
// Take the app down for maintenance
$ freeflarum pause example-app
I can also take a look at the feature request page if you'd prefer to start from rolling out features from there.
I am unable to add my custom domain.
It keeps saying "Oops! twistforums.cf does not CNAME to forums.freeflarum.com" while it does.

How sure are you that the DNS CNAME record was properly mapped? why not perform a DNS lookup?
If you've verified that the records are set up properly, then the issue is probably from your DNS host. I'd advice you to use CloudFlare as it also comes with a lot of security options, including free SSL.
