+## Forum plugin
+
+TinyWeb ships with an optional [tinyweb-forum](https://git.derickphan.com/lichenblankie/tinyweb-forum) plugin — a decentralized link-sharing discussion board that runs in-process alongside TinyWeb.
+
+### Install
+
+```bash
+pip install tinyweb-forum
+```
+
+Enable it on the `/style` page under "Forum". A "Forum" link will appear in the navigation bar.
+
+### How it works
+
+- Threads and posts are stored in `~/.tinyweb/forum.db` (separate from your search index)
+- Instances sync forum content over Reticulum every 5 minutes
+- Authors are identified by a short pseudonymous identity hash (no accounts, no sign-up)
+- Moderation is local: block authors, mute threads, keyword filters, and gossip block lists with peers
+
+For full feature docs, see the [tinyweb-forum README](https://git.derickphan.com/lichenblankie/tinyweb-forum).
