Frond is a refreshingly simple take on forums. Growing your community here is effortless, fun, and free to start. Today we are launching Public Communities and a bundle of new features, which make Frond the easiest way to start any type of community. 🐣
You asked for communities to be more open, public, and searchable – and we listened. We’re proud to introduce Frond 2.0, which now offers public communities. With public communities, visitors can view all groups and content without having to sign into Frond, offering greater visibility into your community.
This not only improves discoverability but also promotes conversion from visitors to active members. Plus, your community content can now be indexed by search engines.
While public communities are the major highlight, they are just one of the numerous features we've been busy building:
- Direct messaging for 1:1 communication
- Search capabilities
- Advanced community permissions
- Private groups
- Polls, roles, and pretty community URLs
- Pinned posts to highlight important content
- Activity digests to keep your community updated
- Welcome posts and member introductions
- Community insights dashboard
- Rich commenting
- Localization in German, Spanish, French, and English
- Plus approximately 858 other improvements and fixes
For those of you who have previously tried Frond, we'd be thrilled if you gave us another try. Our product has seen significant advancements since we launched the first Beta, and we’re confident you’ll appreciate the changes.
In case you missed it, we announced last week that we are open-sourcing Frond – underscoring our belief in the power of community and user autonomy. You can read our announcement at: https://bit.ly/frond-open-source
Your feedback is the cornerstone of our progress. If you have any thoughts, queries, or suggestions, please let us know, or better yet, join our customer community at https://frond.com/frond and share it with everyone. We’re always eager to hear from you.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. Together, let's build stronger, more vibrant communities!
The Frond Team
