Stoat (formerly known as Revolt) is a selfhostable, FOSS replacement for discord [Group chats and voice channels you can join any time].

Cool new name, however not as easy to use in other languages.

Voice chat is stil not officialy implemented.

Self-hosting there. Apparently nothing to do for you if you had already hosted before the name change.

The Android app has unfortunately disappeared (not been updated) on F-droid.

Edit: added short description for clarification

    Ah! If you have never heard of it I can tell you: it’s the foss, self-hostable equivalent of Discord. Except we are still waiting for the voice channels.

      Wait when I tested revolt a few months ago they definitely had voice channels - was that a beta feature?

        Yes it needs extra steps if you are selfhosting and is not supported in the third party app clerotri for example. It seemed an hassle enough that I did not try it on my selfhosted instance.

          Gotcha that does match my impression.

          You’re right though, there’s value in it being a drop-in replacement for discord. Along those lines, I’m very excited for cinny, a matrix discord-like frontend. There’s a PR for voice calls that I check every now and then, the moment that goes in I’ll be trying to convince my friends to hop over.

            Why not any of the other Matrix clients? I’ve got some friends on Element with some bridges and it’s pretty much perfect.
