HumHub

HumHub is a self-hosted social networking platform designed for building private social networks, team intranets, and community portals. It centers collaboration around “Spaces” (groups) with an activity stream, posts, and integrated apps via a modular extension system.

Key Features

• Space-based structure (teams/projects/groups) with configurable permissions and visibility
• Activity stream with posts, comments, likes, mentions, and notifications
• Built-in collaboration modules such as tasks, calendar, files, polls, and wiki/knowledge features (via modules)
• Extensible module system and marketplace for adding functionality without forking core
• User profiles, directory, and social features (following, messaging depending on modules)
• Administration tools for users, spaces, modules, theming, and system settings
• REST API support for integrations (where enabled/available in the platform)

Use Cases

• Company intranet for internal announcements, knowledge sharing, and team coordination
• Private community portal for associations, schools, or member groups
• Project hubs using dedicated Spaces to coordinate updates, tasks, and files

Limitations and Considerations

• Many capabilities are delivered through optional modules; required features may depend on selecting and maintaining specific extensions.

HumHub fits organizations that want a customizable, Space-centric social intranet with an app/module ecosystem. It is especially suitable when you want a familiar social feed UX combined with structured group workspaces and extensibility.
