In-Depth Guide

Building Online Community Platforms

Community platforms are where your most engaged users spend time. They need discussion forums, member profiles, direct messaging, notification systems, and moderation tools. Fabricate generates community platforms with threaded discussions, category organization, member reputation systems, rich text editors, and real-time notifications. The platform integrates with membership billing so community access can be a paid benefit, driving recurring revenue.

Discussion System: Threaded discussions with categories, nested replies, rich text with image embedding, code blocks, mentions, and reaction emojis.

Member Profiles: Public profiles with bio, expertise tags, post history, reputation score, badges for contributions, and social links.

Moderation Tools: Report system with review queue, content flagging, member warning and suspension, and automated spam detection.

Our Discord was getting hard to manage and search. We built a custom community platform with Fabricate. Members love the organized discussions and being able to find answers months later.
