Now that people have moved from reddit to lemmy I'm glad to be using more FOSS software. Now all that's left is discord but I can't find a good replacement.
This really depends heavily on what parts of #Discord you're trying to replace, as nothing currently has a 1:1 similarity with it. #Matrix will likely get you most of what you want but self-hosting it can be quite a sizable task. #Mumble is an excellent choice if your main concern is voice rooms, text chat is not so great. The ""best"" option would probably be to mix mumble with xmpp, as both do what they're designed to do very well and are also quite easy to maintain.
Is self hosting Matrix really that hard? So far it looks like matrix is what I want. They don't have good voice features right now but it looks like they are working on it
I wouldn't say it was hard. The replication part of matrix can get very big, very fast. If you're not prepared for that, it could easily get out of hand.
Been checking out matrix clients and so far Cinny looks and feels closer to discord and fluffychat is pretty good to. Both work better then element in my experience

Here's Discord running in a FOSS browser...
So I wouldn't be worrying about software.
