Lumina Social Platform#

Lumina is a modern, privacy-conscious social platform designed for real-time communication and content sharing. Built with Rust on the backend and Gleam/Lustre on the client, Lumina aims to provide a secure, flexible, and user-friendly experience for individuals and communities.

Key Features#

  • User Registration & Authentication: Secure account creation, login, and session management with support for both SQLite and Postgres databases.
  • Real-Time Communication: WebSocket-based messaging for instant updates and interactions.
  • Content Sharing: Support for articles, media, and text posts
  • Semi-decentralised: Instances (servers) can communicate over websockets with allowlisted other instances to blend certain aspects of their respective timelines, the identification relies on the existing DNS system and on SSH keys.
  • Bubbles vs timelines: While Lumina has a global timeline and one for following and mutuals, it also has 'bubbles', semi-isolated timelines you can be a member of, that sort of operate as communities for specific subjects.
  • Post modes: Posts and DM's switch modes depending on what you want to put in them. Want to post a short text? Sure! An article post? Okay. A gram post? Great! In DM's this is slightly different, but following the same principle!

Vision#

Lumina is intended to be a welcoming, open-source alternative to mainstream social networks, prioritizing user control, transparency, and extensibility. The project is in active development, and contributions are encouraged!
