I’m wondering if anyone made a fediverse like (aka multiple instances talking to eachother) for discord?
I know matrix exists, but it’s only rooms instead of servers with channels, etc…

You sure? It’s not identical but it’s close enough. (matrix) these are spaces
To answer your question, there’s no alternative besides matrix. Sorry.
There is revolt and rocket.chat but yes I’d still do matrix over the others unless a direct discord-like clone is absolutely a must for some reason
Yep, but OP asked for a federated one and neither of those federate, which is why i didn’t include them
In that case matrix also doesn’t federate because its not interacting with the fediverse like here on lemmy.
But revolt, matrix, and rocket.chat are all deployable by end users to connect to the platform and interact with people.
What do you think Federate means? It absolutely does, Matrix Federates over the Matrix protocol, which is a separate protocol from Activitypub which is what Lemmy and Mastodon use. It doesn’t Federate with Lemmy and Mastodon because they are different protocols but it absolutely does federate. Honestly there’s no reason for it to Federate with Lemmy and Masotodon. ActivityPub isn’t a good protocol to use for chatting, Matrix as a chat protocol is superior. Not to say that activitypub is bad, it’s great for social media platforms like forums and blogging, it’s just not good for instant messaging.
Federation isn’t exclusive to the Fediverse. Matrix is federated but not with the Fediverse. They only federate with other Matrix servers/instances.
I think we are meaning the same thing then
No you don’t. Revolt and rocket.chat don’t even communicate between their own servers. They are not federated.
Matrix definitely is federated.
You ran into the trap of taking “fediverse” at face value. It neither invented nor monopolizes federation. E-Mail is federated and has nothing to do with the fediverse. Wikipedia’s page on federation lists the very internet itself as the prime example.
Not implementing ActivityPub doesn’t mean Matrix isn’t federated.
This is the point I was making yes
