这次，我们为你带来一个叫作 “**Flarum**” 的**开源论坛软件**，它可以作为 Discourse 的备选方案。它的目标是提供一个免费、快速且易于使用的**简洁而具有可定制性的讨论平台**。


Flarum 还**具有很高的可扩展性** ，允许进行大量的自定义。


当然，我们可以拥有的开源选项越多越好，对吧？


让我们一起来看看它能提供什么。


### Flarum 概述⭐


![](/data/attachment/album/202309/04/105900q3wr4xhp4h3zccxx.png)


Flarum 是**现已中止运营的** [esoTalk](https://github.com/esotalk/esoTalk) 和 [FluxBB](https://github.com/fluxbb/fluxbb) 论坛软件套件的继任者。它以优化和快捷的性能为考量，提供了一整套良好的功能。


Flarum 主要使用 PHP 编程语言开发。它**由志愿者进行维护和管理**，并**依赖于社区的贡献来推动其发展**。


其主要亮点包括：


* **高度优化**
* **响应式用户接口**
* **移动优先设计**
* **非常的灵活性**

### 初步印象 ?‍?


我开始的测试是登录 Flarum 的 [官方论坛](https://discuss.flarum.org/)，使用的是我的 GitHub 账户。


登录后我进入了 **首页**，那里展示了所有带有相关标签的讨论，并显示了各讨论的回复数。


**顶部菜单**具有通常的**搜索栏**，还有**查看草稿**、**通知**、**带有用户名/头像的菜单**以及一些**重要设定**的选项。

首页还包括一个**侧边栏菜单**，用户可以通过这个开始新的讨论、访问标签，或者查看私有讨论。


我必须说，我发现它和 Discourse 存在一些相似性，但这并不是什么坏事！


这里有一个让我熟悉的时间线滚动条，我可以用它跳转到帖子中的不同回复。


![这是一个多么可爱的小袋鼠！](/data/attachment/album/202309/04/105901nazl3a2zllppsa98.png)


然后有一个 “<ruby> 关注 <rt>  Follow </rt></ruby>” 按钮，允许使用者选择**三种独特的设置**。其中一项是默认设置（没有任何通知），另一个是获得帖子通知，最后一个则是忽略某个帖子。


![](/data/attachment/album/202309/04/105902a6thbx6jnovyz1h1.png)


此后，我关注到用户如何**互动回应某个帖子**，它提供了三种方式，即“<ruby> 回复 <rt>  Reply </rt></ruby>”该帖子，“<ruby> 喜欢 <rt>  Like </rt></ruby>”它或者“<ruby> 标记 <rt>  Flag </rt></ruby>”它并让版主审阅。


![](/data/attachment/album/202309/04/105903xtgtmqiztolfyeqc.png)


**回帖体验**也很好，编辑器上方会显示实时预览。它还提供了保存回复至草稿、最小化编辑器、全屏编辑以及关闭编辑器等选项。


![](/data/attachment/album/202309/04/105903ylt8htsy3tfpyhs9.png)


最后，我查看了**用户设置**，它完整地包括了通常的设置，并对通知提供了精细的控制。它还展示了与我的 Flarum 账户关联的第三方账户。


![](/data/attachment/album/202309/04/105903hvz28jpqtzsof33e.png)


总的来说，Flarum 与广受欢迎的 Discourse 提供了相似的舒适体验，它具有**有益的特性差异，且其技术栈易于安装和管理。**


Flarum 经常更新，自从发布以来，已经取得了长足的发展。它也是 Linux 服务器上最好的 [开源论坛软件](https://itsfoss.com/open-source-forum-software/) 之一，事实已经证明了这一点。

Another day, another first look 😎

This time, we have an **alternative to the open-source forum software Discourse** called “**Flarum**.” It aims to offer a **simple (yet customizable) discussion platform for websites** that is free, fast, and easy to use.

Flarum is also **highly extensible**, allowing for significant customization.

Of course, the more open-source options we have, the better, right?

Let's take a look at it and see what it offers.

## Flarum: Overview ⭐

![a screenshot of flarum's website banner](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/08/Flarum_1.png)

Flarum is a **combined successor of the now-defunct ****esoTalk**** and ****FluxBB**** forum software** suites. It offers a good feature-set while keeping optimization and fast performance in mind.

Written primarily in the PHP programming language. It is **maintained/governed by volunteers** and **relies on contributions from the community** to fuel its development.

Some of its key highlights include:

**Highly optimized****Responsive User Interface****Mobile-First approach****Very flexible**

For instance, Discourse timeline control functionality was inspired by Flarum.

## Initial Impressions 👨💻

I started testing by visiting Flarum's [official forum](https://discuss.flarum.org/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) by using my GitHub account to log in.

Post login, I was brought to the **homepage** which featured all the discussions with their relevant tags, and the number of replies on them.

The **header menu** had the usual **search bar**, with options to **check drafts**, **notifications**, **a menu with the username/avatar**, and a **few important settings**.

![a screenshot of flarum's homepage view](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/08/Flarum_2.png)

The homepage also featured a **sidebar menu** with options to start a new discussion, access tags, and view private discussions.

I must say I did find some similarities to Discourse. But, that's not a bad thing at all!

There was a familiar timeline scroller that allowed me to jump to different replies in the post.

![a screenshot of flarum's post reading experience](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/08/Flarum_3.png)

Then there's the “**Follow**” button that allows for **three distinct settings**. One was the default, with no notifications, the other was for getting post notifications, and the last one was to ignore a post.

Thereafter, I looked at how one could **interact with a post reply**. It had three options, one was to 'Reply' to the post, one was to 'Like' it, and the last one was to 'Flag' it for the moderators to take a look at.

The **post-replying experience** was also quite neat, with a live preview being shown above the editor. It also showed options to save the reply as a draft, minimize the editor, go into full-screen editing, and close the editor.

Finally, I took a look at the **user settings**, and it includes all the usual settings with fine control over notifications. It also showed what third-party accounts were linked to my Flarum account.

Overall, it mimics the comfort that you get with the already-popular Discourse with **useful feature differences and a tech stack that is easy to install and manage.**

Flarum receives updates regularly, and its development has come a long way since it all began. It is also one of the best [open-source forum software](https://itsfoss.com/open-source-forum-software/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) for Linux servers, and that shows.
