Are there Fediverse alternatives to Facebook I can try convincing friends to jump over to? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm finding alternatives for Discord/Twitter/Reddit very easily but still on the search for a Facebook alternative, anyone who didn't quit Facebook yet know how shitty their feed is now bloated with things not related to your friends but it was good before, it wasn't just about "posting", things like being able to create pages, join communities/groups (private and public), events calendar, optional geotagging, tagging people on photos

Movim if they're private, or interested in computers, otherwise I have had success with Pixelfed and Funkwhale. I don't bother explaining any of the weirder forks or what Mastodon or Pleroma is. People want somewhere to post photos and videos on, and I just want to be able to see ActivityPub posts

I think that's what Friendica is supposed to be, decentralized Facebook.

thanks! i checked out after chirospasm recommended in the other comment and it actually has most of these things, truly awesome to be able to also browse posts from other platforms in Fediverse and Bluesky from it too, i might give a try to selfhost it for me and my friends

Friendica is what they want. I agree. And you can get all of your content inside Friendica and never leave. Follow mastodon folks, pixelfed folks, lemmy communities, peertube channels, etc.

Last I recall, friendica was the most solid alternative. It is a fairly feature-complete analogue of Facebook and a few other social platforms. Maybe give it a look!

how much censoring do they do? Lemmy and reddit are very censorship-happy.
