If you want a reddit like experience, check out Lotide: https://github.com/lotide-org/lotide

If you want something more realtime-ish, Matrix would be my go to.

Photos and photo handling will need to be handled out of band. There are several easy solutions here, especially if you are happy paying for an S3 clone.

Feel free to reach out to me and I can at least share my own setup.
