Create a forum your members love to use
Launch a fast, searchable community in minutes. No hosting, plugins, or custom code required.
Create your forum
Pick a name and description. Forumera sets up the forum URL for you.
Why create a forum now?
Forums work best when your group has grown beyond a single chat room. If you see these patterns, it is time for a dedicated forum.
Repeated questions
Support, product and community questions pop up again and again in email and chat. Answers disappear as soon as the scroll moves on.
Lost knowledge
Decisions and explanations live in DMs and private threads. New people have to ask the same things or dig through old messages.
Low engagement
People miss messages in busy channels and feel behind. You want a calmer space where good posts stay visible.
From idea to live forum in a few steps
You bring the concept and first members. Forumera handles the forum structure and hosting.
Step 1
Define your forum
Choose a clear name and short description so the right people instantly know the forum is for them.
Step 2
Pick a starting template
Start from a customer community, internal knowledge base or course community layout instead of a blank board.
Step 3
Seed a few threads
Post a welcome message, an “Introduce yourself” thread and a couple of practical questions or guides.
Step 4
Invite your first members
Share the forum link in your existing channels and invite a handful of people to start posting.

Forumera focuses on the basics that matter for real discussions instead of chasing endless engagement.
Clear threads and boards
Categories, boards and pinned threads keep the structure obvious so members always know where to post.
Searchable by default
Threads live on the open web and stay easy to search, link and reference in other places.
Moderation & access controls
Roles, permissions and reporting tools help you keep discussions on topic and respectful.
Forums that feel calm and useful
Forumera is built for communities that care more about long-term discussion quality than about constant notifications.
Less repeated support
Moving common questions to a forum thread can cut repeat tickets and DMs significantly.
Faster onboarding
New members can read past threads to catch up instead of pinging people for links and context.
Stronger community memory
Decisions and best answers stay visible, so your forum becomes a living knowledge base.

Short answers to common questions before you click “Create forum”.
How long does it take to launch a forum with Forumera?
Most people can create a forum and share the link in under ten minutes. You can start with a single board and a couple of threads, then add structure as you see what people use.
Do I need my own hosting or domain?
No. Forumera hosts your forum and gives you a URL like yourname.forumera.com. You can always add your own domain later if you want. yourname.forumera.com.
Can I move an existing community to Forumera?
Yes. Many forums start by inviting people from Discord, Slack, WhatsApp or email lists. You can keep chat for quick pings and use the forum for longer questions and posts you want to keep.
What if my forum does not take off?
You can start small without a contract or upfront cost. If people do not use the forum, you can simply stop sending them there. You only keep it if it clearly helps.
Start your forum in a few minutes
Name your forum, write a short description and invite the first people to try it. You can refine structure later.
