   Best open-source software distributed social network

   Best Thing is Friendica is a free and open-source software distributed social network. It forms one part of the Fediverse, an interconnected and decentralized network of independently operated servers

• Facebook Groups alternatives?

  You might want to look into some of the Facebook-like open-source social networking programs like Friendica, Hubzilla, Libervia, or GNU Social. Source: 5 months ago

• We need a Facebook groups style decentralized alternative. Does one exist?

  I think that Friendi.ca is the fediverse equivalent of FB, in the same way that Mastodon is to twitter. https://friendi.ca. Source: 10 months ago

• Looking for a “news aggregater”.

  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. Source: 11 months ago

• 📣 Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️

  Facebook being whatever it is would be friendi.ca. Source: 11 months ago

• Open Source Social Network php based social networking software

  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. Source: 12 months ago

• Looking for Facebook/Nextdoor alternative for Civic League

  The final thought that comes to mind is BuddyPress, a plugin for WordPress sites. A pretty decent option if you already have a WordPress site setup. Source: about 1 year ago

• Child care - matching parents with foster parents

  As you're building a community site to allow parents and foster parents to create their own user profiles and potentially interact with each other, buddypress can do a lot of the heavy lifting for you. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best way to create a community website

  I'd probably be remiss if I didn't also mention buddypress, which some like for creating a social/community space based on WordPress. I much prefer a forum, but you should at least look into buddypress a little. Source: over 1 year ago

• Can Wordpress help me make a blog (image below explains) where users can select topics they’re interested in, add these topics to their profiles, have a calendar with important dates, author profiles and more. The image will explain more

  Yes you can make the site in Wordpress. Some development work needed for sure. Please check Buddypress https://buddypress.org/ This a free plugin by Automattic. Source: over 1 year ago

• New theme system is incoming! Basically you can create iOS & Android mobile apps or even Windows & MacOS programs with.. a WordPress Theme! You can self-host your data in your server.

  My long-term plan: Adding BuddyPress support ( https://buddypress.org/ ) so basically wordpress+quasar social system with groups, forums, private chats etc. Adding WooCommerce support ( https://woocommerce.com/ ) so e-commerce.. Source: over 1 year ago
