For self-hosted and federated community building, might I suggest NodeBB? v4 now fully federates, has always been self-hostable, and is a great piece of software for migrating from Facebook. Consider the "feed" plugin for a less jarring experience. Push notifications via the "web-push" plugin.

With "fully federates", do you mean that it can share forum categories and/or posts with other NodeBB servers?

Yes! You can share topics and posts with other NodeBB forums and software implementing ActivityPub (Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc.)

Wow, this is fantastic! Have to spin up a NodeBB forum soon to check it out.
