Transforming xenforo Cloud into a social

[anto564]

Good morning, I would like to know if this is possible, I would like to be able to transform xenforo and my community of people into a social network like insegreto.com or other small social networks, the most important part I would like to have a feed with all the posts from the most recent to the first one, where you can also see some text before opening it and commenting, as well as images. Can this be done in the admin panel?
How is email sending handled if I buy the Cloud for €60 a month? Does it use my domain or Xenforo's? Is there any branding?

I bought the self hosted version so I can use my own server,cloud, panel so I don’t have to pay the 60 dollar fee lol

insegreto.com or other small social networks

In general, almost all customizations are possible in the cloud version as well. The only exceptions are direct modifications to the database and FTP functions. This means that most add-ons designed to expand the community can be installed and configured.

As for your forum - assuming it’s publicly accessible - it’s already a social network in the broadest sense. The site you mentioned, “insegreto.com,” won’t load. Please try to describe your requirements in a bit more detail so we can help you with an answer.

That’s an interesting direction. Turning XenForo Cloud into more of a social-style platform is definitely possible, but it’s less about adding “social features” and more about improving how users interact daily. Things like better activity feeds, user profiles that feel more dynamic, reactions, and real-time notifications can make a big difference. XenForo already has a strong community foundation—you just need to layer on engagement-focused features and maybe some UI tweaks to make it feel more like a social space rather than a traditional forum.
