Description

Minds is a decentralized social media and community platform that gives creators, brands, publishers, and organizations the ability to own and operate their own social networks across the web and mobile devices. The platform allows users to quickly launch fully branded community applications for websites, iOS, and Android while maintaining ownership of their code, content, user relationships, communications, and data. Minds supports modern decentralized technologies including ActivityPub alongside integrations with RSS, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Stripe, DNS, and other web2 and web3 services that expand connectivity across the broader internet. Community owners can create public or private spaces, publish content, facilitate discussions, manage memberships, monetize audiences, and build custom integrations to fit their specific needs. Built-in social features include newsfeeds, blogs, chat, groups, video sharing, photos, notifications, search, analytics, paid memberships, affiliate tools, rewards, tips, and advertising options. Organizations can also embed comments on external websites and communicate directly with audiences through their own branded community applications. In addition to powering independent communities, Minds.com hosts one of the larger decentralized social networks where users can connect with creators, journalists, artists, and other communities. By combining decentralized ownership, flexible monetization, and open interoperability, Minds enables organizations to grow engaged communities without relying entirely on traditional social media platforms.
