Module · Community forum
A reader community that lives on your domain.
A standing space where your readers post, reply and come back, not a comment box bolted under each article. Comments, structured debates and readers' letters under one signed identity, one moderation pipeline, one design. Hosted in the EU, owned by you.

Why this module
A forum you own, not a group you rent.
Most newsrooms host their community somewhere they do not control: a Facebook group, a third-party forum on a separate domain, a comment box that resets with every article. The conversation happens, but the traffic, the accounts and the data leave with it. A Logora forum keeps the community on your site, tied to first-party accounts in your own database, under your editorial rules. Milenio rebuilt exactly this when it moved off Facebook Comments, and saw daily contributions more than double in the first year.
What you get
Built for newsroom workflows.
- 01
A standing space, on your domain
Not a per-article thread that disappears. A persistent community surface your readers return to, hosted on your site and indexed under your URLs, so the SEO value and the traffic stay yours.
- 02
First-party, signed accounts
Every member is a real account in your database through <a href="/plateforme/sso-gamification">SSO</a>. No throwaway identities, no third-party login wall, no leakage to social platforms. The community graph compounds into your subscription system.
- 03
Comments, debates and readers’ letters in one space
The same contributor space combines threaded <a href="/plateforme/commentaires">comments</a>, structured <a href="/plateforme/debats">debates</a> and a readers’ letters format, under one identity and one moderation pipeline. Pick the formats that fit your newsroom.
- 04
Moderation built in
AI moderation filters around 85% of toxic content before the human queue, then your team reviews the rest. DSA-ready by default. See the <a href="/plateforme/moderation-ia">moderation module</a>.
- 05
Community identity and gamification
Reputation, recognition and engagement mechanics give members a reason to come back and a stake in the quality of the space. Avatars and identity can be tailored to your brand.
- 06
Multilingual, and extensible
Moderation runs natively per language, including Italian: we run debate forums in Italy with Quotidiano Nazionale. We can also build custom modules for a specific use case on top of the same backend.
In production
Used by Milenio.
Milenio replaced Facebook Comments with a Logora community of logged-in readers. Daily contributions more than doubled in the first year, and 10 to 11% of new daily registrations now come straight from the discussion widget.

Common questions
What publishers actually ask.
-
Is the forum a separate product from your comment system?
No. It is the same backend, the same SSO and the same moderation pipeline. The forum is the persistent community surface that brings comments, debates and readers’ letters together in one space, instead of one isolated thread per article.
-
Where is the forum hosted, and who owns the data?
On your own domain, with all data hosted in the EU on OVH in France. Reader accounts live in your database. Logora is your data processor under Article 28 GDPR, and the setup is DSA-ready by default.
-
Can the forum handle multiple languages?
Yes. Moderation runs natively per language rather than translating everything through English. We already run debate forums in Italian with Quotidiano Nazionale, and the platform ships in six interface languages.
-
Can we add a format that is specific to our newsroom?
Yes. On top of the standard modules (comments, debates, consultations, readers’ letters) we can develop custom modules for a specific use case, built on the same backend, SSO and moderation.
