Building a Site for a community based on shared interests?
Really depends on so many variables, and comes down to knowing the audience. I built a lightweight social network api platform to do a lot of what getstream.io and OSSN does, but the way users engaged with it was nothing like what I expected. One use case, for example, would have been mostly satisfied with WordPress and Mailchimp. Forums are very familiar to people and still used by a lot of "I don't do social media" types. At the risk of making a sweeping generalization, if you have an older target audience they will be happy with a forum. If you have a younger target audience they will prefer the sequential post / react style of interacting, like Discord or Instagram.

How likely are you to use a social network no one has heard of?
I have heard of OSSN, which is basically the same thing? Except from what I understand instead of it being one big social network, its like a skeleton to build your own community, which runs into the same issue (no users). Also, it's written in PHP (ew). I could be wrong about the function, I haven't personally delved into it. I think if I had to give an answer on whether or not I would use it, it would entirely depend on how specific of a topic and how active the network is. I think personally, there's really not anything I couldnt do in a discord channel that I could on some social media site, especially after learning how to write a few bots for whatever channel or group I want/am a part of. I can join a discord group for practically anything, and just have more options to do stuff, compared to something like facebook or reddit,.
- For the first time in its history, Facebook is in decline. Has the tech giant begun to crumble?
- Cost and hours to programa basic social network from scratch?

Hubzilla vs. Diaspora vs. OSSN for hosting my own personal social media page?
I really like the interface of OSSN, but I see that Hubzilla and Diaspora are both part of the Fediverse which seems to be widely liked and used, which makes me feel better about the longevity of such a product.
