      Probably about the same as Google+, no one you know uses it because they’re all on Facebook.

        You mean no one I know uses it and they’re not on Facebook anymore.

  Mastodon has rich media features and such that it could be considered a replacement for modern Facebook.

  Now for the legacy Facebook that was more focused on the Facebook wall, homepages, and etc. There really isn’t a replacement but nobody can use Facebook for that now.

  As for a replacement for Facebook groups, kbin or Lemmy can do it. Kbin does both the microblogging/status updates and communities.

  Someone else mentioned frendica. But I don’t have any experience with that.

  Facebook does a lot of things. Depends on what exactly you’re looking for. Facebook allows you to follow friends and organizations (= Mastodon), it also allows you to participate in groups (= Lemmy), and then it has a few other features too.
