Flotilla is a community platform offering chat, voice, video, and events, built on the open Nostr protocol. It gives organizers moderation tools, roles, access controls, an activity feed, and a member directory in one app. Communities and their data belong to the organizer, so members and history can't be taken away or locked out. It is available on web, iPhone, and Android, and can also be self-hosted.
