Ask HN: Hosting your own Facebook-like service

I haven't set it up so I can't comment on how easy it is to install or user-friendliness compared to Facebook.

I think of Mastodon more as a Twitter replacement than a FB replacement. But maybe that would be good enough.

Try using Slack. Not quite the same, but interesting.

Try Friendica. Same functionality as Facebook, but open, like Mastodon. Mastodon : Twitter. Friendica : Facebook.
