Do we have a Fediverse equivalent of Facebook yet..?
yes, Friendica has been around for longer than Mastodon has.
But how does it compare?
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.
Not great. The ux is stuck in 2006
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.
