Facebook groups alternative
Hi For a local non for profit I am looking for an alternative for our Facebook group. An easy to use interface with a mobile app is a must. We need to have a place to post important updates and have small discussions/polls. Being able to create events would be a plus. Does anyone know a good alternative? Thanks in advance!
Matrix. It's very secure and allows you to view several group chats/topics at once, and you can video/audio call through the Jira app extension.
Does it also offer features to pin important files/messages?
No but the most conversed topics stay at the top of the feed. Also my bad, it's now called Element in the app store, I forgot about the change.
Actually yes, but it's experimental feature. In Element (one of matrix clients) you have to enable it in "Labs" tab to use it.
Ohh that I didn't know.
How about Friendica
I fear that this UI looks to "old" for my colleges to even try it
Can you self-host, or are you looking for another online service? Facebook Groups is basically a forum when it comes down to it, and any forum software can do what you're asking. I really like Discourse.
