Facebook is not a forum. If you want to use FB, use FB.
Facebook's success has absolutely nothing to do with usability of one of its components, which I think is worst forum-like layout ever invented. It has nothing to do with endless scrolling. It has nothing to do with any other feature you are suggesting.
It is successful because its easy to use as one central platform to send junk to each other. Register, post some nonsense, spam followers. Create your own page, follow other users, etc. It is all about making as many junk posts as possible with ease.
Just because it has feature X, doesn't mean every software should have such feature. Using FB's success as some kind of measurement for any of its features is, putting politely, stupid. Features do not exist on their own, they exist in environment they are designed for. Pulling feature from one environment and putting it in completely different one does not guarantee success. It is usually the opposite.
Endless scrolling, annoying chat overlays are terrible for both performance and usability. I wouldn't use any forum with those features. Forums are not designed for one line nonsense spam. That's what Twitter is for.
