You sure? It’s not identical but it’s close 'nough. (matrix)
To answer your question, there’s no alternative besides matrix. Sorry.

yes it does, and it works as well as discord, it’s just in beta and not supported everywhere yet

Really? My mistake (other reply) will edit, thank you
fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
Sadly, no. In that case mumble is the best choice.

Look my edit I created at the same time
It doesn’t? What’s the telephone icon then on the linked screenshot? Or is it like only 1to1 calls instead of multi user rooms to join like discord/teamspeak u mean?
fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
Oh, i see your edit now. I did a little testing, sadly this only applies to rooms with two people (including you) only, so it only functions like a normal 1:1 call (there’s group videochat tho)
What’s the telephone icon then on the linked screenshot
If you mean my very top comment, there’s no telephone icon :p I guess you mean that person symbol? Those are DMs :D
Or is it like only 1to1 calls
Yep
multi user rooms to join like discord/teamspeak u mean?
Also yeah sadly. If you’re insistent on it, as i said mumble is a good choice; FOSS, not tied to one server. Here’s a link www.mumble.info

How do you find spaces/communities to join?
fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
This doesn’t cover all rooms. However, for a bigger list use: matrixrooms.info
On element:
Press "Join public room"
On cinny:

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
fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
Yep, but OP asked for a federated one and neither of those federate, which is why i didn’t include them
confuser@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
In that case matrix also doesn’t federate because its not I terwcting 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.

Activitypub and the matrix protocol are different things, they aren’t supposed to interact with each other. Matrix servers using matrix implementations (synapse, tuwunel, conduit, etc) can interact with each other, since they are all based on the same protocol. Same way we do it, how AP servers with mbin,piefed,lemmy interact all with each other, since they are all based on the same protocol, too.
Revolt doesn’t federate at all. They even admit this.. I stand corrected on rocket.chat, they actually implemented the matrix protocol, so it’s interoperable with matrix.
I think your last point is flawed, since even with multiple revolt instances; they don’t interact at all. Which, is not federation. Matrix is federated, there’s no other way to look at it and they’re not comparable, and not meant to be compared at all.

Federation isn’t exclusive to the Fediverse. Matrix is federated but not with the Fediverse. They only federate with other Matrix servers/instances.
