The XMPP channel search has a few channels that are not assorted geekery, but yeah most of it is.

I'm already self-hosting a XMPP and a Matrix server, just in case. A shame that most of the group chats I've found there are about free software, assorted geekery, but not much of what I'd usually find on Discord - hopefully that changes in a few years.

Unlikely. They make for poor discord community replacements. There’s just too much complexity at the door.
Most things are looking towards fluxer as the replacement. Since it’s actually a discord replacement unlike xmpp or matrix. Which are alternatives not replacements.

I'm not sure about Fluxer specifically, but I've seen Zulip being deployed as a self-contained chat room for a few projects now. Also Stoat claims to be a Discord replacement. What does Fluxer offer in particular that the other two don't?

Plant the first seed and create those groups.

This is always the problem. Internet folk are normal now, they dont have tech skills. In ye olden time we were used to irc and mumble and had no problem switching to other clients if needed. Now people freak out that they need to make a new account somewhere else to leave discord and good luck explaining something like Matrix to them!
