For members of "science twitter" who are opposed to Twitter's recently deployed content-wall - what are some alternative platforms that help academics openly share and discuss scientific research?
For those on the fence, but know more about how instances work, this resource may help you pick a relevant one. There is also this Github resource that enlists all academia-based instances.

Any Indigenous Mastodon Servers To Join?
I used this site for finding specialized Mastodon servers. I used a variety of search string and did not find any Mastodon servers specialized to Indigenous People's concerns.

Find and join communities in Reddit alternatives. Here's a list of Mastodon communities, and here's an online tool to find and parse through the different Mastodon communities. This is a list of popular Lemmy servers. However, do keep an eye out as some existing subreddit's moderators may create new communities on these sites.

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

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

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.

📣 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

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.

My experience after 16 months on the Fediverse
The Fediverse has many different types of platforms, including video hosting on Peertube or Friendica which is similar to Facebook. Mastodon got the most publicity, but it only uses a fraction of the possibilities that ActivityPub offers.

Determining the best fit for Mastodon instances.
Friendica is powerful, but it's also very complex. If your primary goal for the server is simple discussions about your website, Friendica might be more than you need.

Zettlr in the fediverse and on matrix?
Are there any plans to set up some kind of presence in the decentralized fediverse (e.g. on Mastodon) or a community channel via the Matrix protocol? Services like Mastodon or Friendica are federated social networks licensed under FLOSS-licenses. Those "talk" to each other using open protocols like "ActivityPub" and/or "DFRN". Matrix provides similar functionality compared to Discord and is free (libre) and open source as well. Basing communication on free software can be seen as a political act. ;)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing instances and Friendica you can also consider the following projects:
Lemmy - 🐀 A link aggregator and forum for the fediverse
Mastodon - Your self-hosted, globally interconnected microblogging community
PixelFed - Photo Sharing. For Everyone.
diaspora* - A privacy-aware, distributed, open source social network.
gotosocial - Fast, fun, small ActivityPub server.
Hubzilla
HumHub - HumHub is an Open Source Enterprise Social Network. Easy to install, intuitive to use and extendable with countless freely available modules.
nitter - Alternative Twitter front-end
Socialhome - A federated social home
