Elgg has ActivityPub plugin now https://elgg.org/plugins/3330966
Here are examples of what can be done with it: Twitter Clone - https://pw.wzm.me Marketplace - https://es.wzm.me Showcases and more - https://w.wzm.me Q&A - http://elgghacks.com Even a platform to create other apps - https://lab.wzm.me
Basically, yes it's, you can make own online community, or niche social network for your users/products. But this is very useful to make unique social app based on an open source framework.
If you want to launch startup then social interaction between people is very important and Elgg allows you to do it quickly. In addition, it's very secure code with wide features for growth and integration with other applications.
I believe that this social networking framework has a great future.
Look at these projects which created using this engine: Minds https://www.minds.com Pleio https://pleio.nl GCconnex and GCcollab https://github.com/gctools-outilsgc/gcconnex
There is even a Platform that will make building apps based on Elgg easier https://wzm.me/
Right now this project needs more cotributors to help it develop even more https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg
