Public Interest Social Networks
Bonfire is built by communities, for communities. Rooted in autonomy, mutual care, and collective power. Co-create your tools, reclaim your data, and resist manipulation by shaping your own federated digital spaces.

To get a feel for what's included in Bonfire Social, you can sign up on our Campground (https://campground.bonfire.cafe), it's a testing instance (federation disabled) where you can explore features, discuss UX, and optionally report bugs or suggest improvements...

For those wondering what kind of server is needed for Bonfire, see this thread: https://indieweb.social/@bonfire/114714550261653975
The resources your Bonfire instance needs mostly depend on:
- How many local users are active at the same time
- How many remote users follow local users (and from how many instances)
- How many distinct remote users are followed by local users
- The volume and frequency of posts and other activities
Unless you already have a dedicated server, a flexible virtual server can be a good option so you can scale RAM/CPU as your instance grows, e.g: https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/
