Answer 1

Note that Java and Javascript has nothing in common besides the name.
Creating your own Social Media is totally possible if you are up for the challenge (referring to the competition).
I saw a talk on Ruby on rails where their first tutorial was creating a social media platform.
You are going to need a lot more, HTML (the bones of the site), PHP (the Smarts), Javascript (the other nitty gritty stuff), CSS(the styling) and something to run the Backend (in your case you want to use java)
Start with your preferred Programming language and then do HTML, Javascript, CSS and then PHP.
You also have to put in some research in where you are going to host it (on a dedicated host or your own PC at home), which webserver are you going to run (I Prefer WAMP) and which operating system are you going to use. Its a Long term goal but you will be able to achieve it.
