I'm looking for a FOSS solution for a group forum for friends or neighbours or colleagues. The usual way these days is a Whatsapp group, but I don't want to depend on a commercial service like that. What options are out there? It should have both web and smartphone clients, supports text, image, etc. messages for groups and individuals. Encryption is preferred. Self hosting should be possible, but a default public server would be nice to start with. Should be quite mature and easy to use even for non technical folks. #forums #foss

Signal? I only use it to phone my bro in Cyprus but it has groups and seems to work like WhatsApp.
