There's this thing (also called tildes, so i was confused by it at first) that seems really charming, but very esoteric https://tilde.town/ it's what I imagine the old mainframe style of computing must have been like although I'm far too young to know anything about that.
It's a really neat idea and I lowkey want to try and set one up on a raspberry pi or something, but as you said; getting people on board would be a bit of a struggle. Probably would be worth it though, since quite a few people in my circles are very interested in computing/programming but find it hard to approach learning it when they don't have a specific goal/issue they're tackling.
An interesting article by the creator of Tilde.club, the original micro social network that spawned the tildeverse, was actually mentioned by Deimos in docs.tildes.net FAQ.

As far as setting it up yourself on an RPi, I'm not sure if that'd be powerful enough for more than, say, 5 people, but an old laptop might be good enough for more.
I love the idea of micro-communities, but I think the hardest bit would be convincing friends to join to be honest

oh, I didn't realize! I might have to get a pi4 then and try this out ... someday ...
