Decentralization
Friendica operates on a decentralized network, meaning that it is not controlled by a single entity. This ensures greater privacy and control over personal data, aligning with the principles of the Fediverse.
Interoperability
Friendica supports cross-communication with other decentralized networks like Mastodon, Diaspora, and more, allowing users to interact with a broader community beyond just Friendica users.
Privacy and Security
Friendica offers robust privacy and security settings, enabling users to have greater control over who sees their posts and personal information.
Feature Rich
Friendica provides a wide range of features such as photo albums, events, forums, and groups. These features make it a versatile social platform for various types of interactions.
Customizability
Users can customize their Friendica experience with various themes and plugins to better suit their needs and preferences.
You might want to look into some of the Facebook-like open-source social networking programs like Friendica, Hubzilla, Libervia, or GNU Social.

I think that Friendi.ca is the fediverse equivalent of FB, in the same way that Mastodon is to twitter. https://friendi.ca.

In addition to what has been said, you can also use Friendica, another great decentralized alternative (server list). It supports RSS, along with being a regular social network.

Facebook being whatever it is would be friendi.ca.

Given the similarity to FB, what’s the advantage over Friendica or Hubzilla? Both support federation with other servers and can be run as a closed community too.

The Fediverse has many different types of platforms, including video hosting on Peertube or Friendica which is similar to Facebook. Mastodon got the most publicity, but it only uses a fraction of the possibilities that ActivityPub offers.

Friendica is powerful, but it’s also very complex. If your primary goal for the server is simple discussions about your website, Friendica might be more than you need.

Are there any plans to set up some kind of presence in the decentralized fediverse (e.g. On Mastodon) or a community channel via the Matrix protocol? Services like Mastodon or Friendica are federated social networks licensed under FLOSS-licenses. Those “talk” to each other using open protocols like “ActivityPub” and/or “DFRN”.
Matrix provides similar functionality compared to Discord and is free (libre) and open…

Friendica servers (social networking and microblogging).

Mastodon is software for microblogging, like twitter. You may be more interested in Friendica (https://friendi.ca/), which aims to be more like facebook (i think). Not the same as facebook, just as mastodon isn’t the same as twitter. They’re trying to do things better with more privacy.

To be fair, its not Mastodon, its the #Fediverse. Mastodon is arguably the least rich platfrom on the ‘verse. IMHO Friendica is where its at, and you can still communicate with all the twitter refugees on Mastodon, as well as meater content on services likeDiaspora*, not to mention full integration with Lemmy (which works fairly similar to Reddit) while Masto you can see lemmy posts and replies without having to…

There’s friendica which is decentralised but you had to host your own server or at least join some random server but if you don’t mind setting up a server for it, you might like it.

Friendica (https://friendi.ca/) is WordPress-level easy; it’s got a similar stack.

ActivityPub is a decentralized social network used by Mastodon, which resembles an older version of Twitter, as well as Pixelfed, which resembles older Instagram, Friendica, which resembles older Facebook, and others.

And they recommended Friendica as a replacement for Facebook : https://friendi.ca/.

Mastodon might be the wrong thing for you here, as it’s more akin to Twitter. For Instagram you’re better off with Pixelfed, for Facebook it would be Friendica. The advantage is that all of these can still talk to each other.

AFAIK Friendica is closer to Facebook in function, with different community groups and such. It’s part of the Fediverse too so kinda compatible with Mastodon. I haven’t tried it though. Someone recommend a server?

After what happened, I think it’s the time to craft our own little social media. Decentralized social media. I’m not talking about Facebook, Twitter or even Reddit. I’m talking about social media like Mastodon, Pleroma and Friendica. What we need is work together actually. Some of us co-op by give time to host and maintain the VPS or dedicated server, others maybe help by moderate it and others help by donations…

I’ve never looked for one, but I’m sure open-source, federated alternatives to Facebook already exist. Friendica seems like a popular one, but I’ve never used it.
