I need a Facebook replacement

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?

graycube,

Facebook Marketplace is my favorite part of Facebook. Thoughts about what might replace that?

classic,

Mercuri seems to be becoming more popular

catloaf,

Right up until it asks for ID, which you have to use the app for, and even if you send it nothing happens and your account remains disabled.

Ask me how I know. And that was for my very first purchase.

mesamunefire,

Not ironically craigslist never went away in some places.

I think the number of scammers went way up though

Bazoogle,

That also applies to FB marketplace

Draupnir,

What do you hope to gain from leaving one Facebook to join another Facebook? Break the addiction. Free yourself from needing this in your life.

Bazoogle,

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.

Friendica is good-ish for a fediverse option.
