Learning to code and building it yourself is by far the easiest path forward. Building a social app like this is a multi-decade long project, so spending an extra couple years upfront developing the technical skills isn't going to set the project back by a meaningful amount. If you hire other folks to work for you, count on spending at least 500k per year for, say, 5 years until you app starts bringing in revenue. Unless you can self-fund it at that level, you're probably just going to lose whatever money you put into it.
