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.

Selfhosted social media site with images and videos
open source social network might be something worth looking into.

Just throw up something like https://www.opensource-socialnetwork.org/. Why build it all from scratch?

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.

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 OSSN and Friendica you can also consider the following projects:
HumHub - HumHub is an Open Source Enterprise Social Network. Easy to install, intuitive to use and extendable with countless freely available modules.
Mastodon - Your self-hosted, globally interconnected microblogging community
Elgg - A social networking engine in PHP/MySQL
diaspora* - A privacy-aware, distributed, open source social network.
Hubzilla
