This is a cool platform, and while it's missing a few convenience features when directly compared to Discord, it's incredibly good for smaller communities.

I'd be curious to see other people use it and even report on what kind of resources are enough for them. Is a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB RAM enough? :) Who knows? Sure, system requirements should come from the project itself, but depending on what people actually use on this platform, I expect different real-world requirements. Worth trying for sure. :)

What is Common Ground?

Common Ground is a browser-based, open-source social platform for communities, built as a robust alternative to Discord.

After years of development, we are proud to release the Common Ground platform under the AGPLv3 license. Our goal is to build a fully open social infrastructure that offers the convenience and familiar patterns of modern social platforms while remaining open, accessible, and free from the control of big tech monopolies.

Features

Common Ground offers a rich set of features designed for communities, DAOs, and creators:

  • Community Management: Create and manage communities with granular roles, permissions, and membership requirements (passwords, questionnaires, etc.).
  • Communication: Real-time chat channels, direct messages (DMs), and threaded conversations.
  • HD Voice & Video: Free 1080p voice and video calls, including group calls and Broadcasts with a video stage (similar to Twitter Spaces).
  • Progressive Web App (PWA): Fully functional in the browser and installable on iOS, Android, and Desktop. Supports push notifications and offline capabilities.
  • Plugin System: A powerful ecosystem allowing deep integration of custom web apps, games, or tools directly into your community.
  • Blockchain Integration: Native support for all EVM chains. Use ERC20, ERC721, ERC1155, LSP7, and LSP8 tokens for gated roles and access.
  • Content & Discovery: Publish long-form community articles, appear in global content feeds, and manage community newsletters.
  • Events: Schedule events with built-in registration handling.
