The closest thing is Friendica, and it's very buggy and the UI would need to be completely remade. Also, its groups are not the same thing as Facebook's groups.
It has a lot of potential, but fails to really fulfill it.
I've come to the conclusion that the closest thing to a Facebook replacement out there is... PieFed. Which you are using right now. You do need to combine it with Mastodon to get all you were doing on Facebook, but PieFed and Mastodon together do actually fulfill what at least I had as my purpose to use Fecesbook.
There is a plan to "some day" add good support for Mastodon style messaging here as well. But that might easily take a year or two.
