Agorica
Open source · Self-hosted · No lock-in

Own your community. Forever.

Agorica is an open-source community platform you can self-host, customize, and truly control — no algorithm, no ads, no corporate overlord.

Why Agorica

Built on principles, not engagement metrics.

Truly Yours

Self-host on your own infrastructure. Your data, your rules, your domain — no vendor lock-in, no surprise terms of service.

No Algorithmic Feed

Users choose how content is sorted. Hot, New, Top, Controversial — honest ranking, not engagement manipulation.

White-Label Ready

Custom domain, custom name, custom theme. Build your brand on top of Agorica — not the other way around.

Who is it for

For anyone who believes communities deserve better.

Niche communities tired of Reddit

No sudden API changes. No mod tool removals. No algorithm deciding your community's fate. Own the platform — own the future. What you build today will still be yours in ten years.

Businesses & brands

White-label it, connect your domain, integrate with your auth system. No competing ads on your platform, no user data harvested by a third party. Just your community, on your terms.

Developers & tinkerers

Modular monolith, full end-to-end type safety, open source. Built on Bun, React 19, PostgreSQL, and a stack that makes sense. Fork it, extend it, make it yours.

Every technology chosen for a reason. None chosen for hype.
