"Forum Post" will probably work for you. But can you post an example of what you expect the reference to look like?

Forum post is incorrect for APA.

Facebook status updates can be rendered correctly in APA7 using Forum Post, see

There are some other Facebook types (like a Facebook page) that should be entered as webpages
