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.

What if social networks served people in all their diverse complexity — instead of the streamlined simplicity of big platforms?
Bonfire Social is our first app: built for meaningful connection and conversation – community-governed spaces you can make your own.
It’s part of a modular framework that empowers communities to build the tools they need — and shape how they work and feel.

🔥 Bonfire Social 1.0 release candidate has landed!
Curious about what the fediverse could look like with real community control?
Try out features like custom feeds, nested discussions, shared profiles, circles, and boundary-based permissions — then let us know what breaks or needs improvement.

@linarphy I think the demos at least will be recorded, and we'll be sharing some demo recordings soon in any case. But the most interesting part about an unconference is participating in the open discussions. There was some "almost free" tickets but unfortunately they're sold out.

This is a chance to poke at the process, challenge assumptions, and have an open conversation. Bring your curiosity, hard questions, and ideas about co-design, funding, burnout, moderation, and the messy realities of open-source work.
Let’s dig into how fediverse apps get built, maintained, and shaped by their communities.
See you there! 🔗 https://fediforum.org

Join us at #FediForum today — an unconference about the ActivityPub ecosystem. We’ll be doing a live demo and proposing a session:
Behind the Bonfire: building a fediverse app in public
Curious how a fediverse app actually gets made? We’ll share the journey to Bonfire 1.0, talk about deployment, governance, and what building in public really looks like — the good, the hard, and the weird.

@reiver@flancian
we have an icon in several formats, but a simplified one that scales well to smaller sizes may be useful as well: https://bonfirenetworks.org/presskit/
