Murmur
======

[](#murmur)

**A quiet place for meaningful conversation.**

Murmur is a self-hosted, open-source social platform designed for calm, intentional discourse. No algorithmic feeds. No engagement metrics. No federation complexity. Just you and your community.

Why Murmur?
-----------

[](#why-murmur)

Modern social platforms optimize for engagement, not connection. Murmur takes a different approach:

- **No algorithms** — Posts appear in chronological order. You see what you follow.
- **No metrics** — No follower leaderboards, no viral incentives. Like counts are shown, but who liked a post stays private.
- **No federation** — Your instance, your rules. Simple to run, simple to moderate.
- **Your data** — Self-hosted means you own everything. Export anytime.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Posts & Replies** — Share thoughts with optional image and video attachments
- **Topics** — Organize conversations by category; follow topics that interest you
- **User Follows** — Build your own feed by following people you care about
- **Private Messaging** — One-to-one conversations between mutual follows
- **OAuth Authentication** — Sign in with Google, Facebook, or Apple
- **Multi-Language** — Full internationalization support with YAML translation files
- **Flexible Storage** — Local filesystem or S3-compatible cloud storage (Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, MinIO, Cloudflare R2)
- **Theming** — Customizable themes with CSS-only styling
- **Admin Controls** — User management, registration settings, approval workflows
- **Multi-Database** — MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, or SQLite
