I need a Facebook replacement (lemmy.zip)

I plan to end my Facebook account before January 19. I like the format and would like something similar in the Fediverse. Also, I need a good Facebook alternative I can show people when trying to convince them to leave Facebook.

So what is the best Facebook alternative as of 2025? Frendica, Diaspora or Pleroma? Or something new and promising?

A social media platform to keep up with friends/family, while arguable not great (for comparison reasons), it not at all the same as what Facebook is right now. Facebook is no longer what it was originally created to be, it is just a dopamine slow drip.

If you want to keep up with friends/family, you can do a chat group on any of the many messengers. Or even use an RCS/iMessage group. You don't need a full-blown social media thingy for this.

Yup. This is why Discord/Whatsapp/Telegram are so popular, for better or worse.
