Does Anyone Host a Discord Alternative? Like a Matrix/Synapse Server?

As r/selfhosted seems to have shutdown due to the reddit api changes (rip), I wanted to see if anyone has worked with these services before?

How do they compare to Discord and how hard is it to maintain, as the setup looks pretty in depth for matrix and synapse. How did you convince your user base to use it over Discord.

I’ve hosted TS3 for about 8 years and are looking for alternatives, as we have to use Discord for screen sharing.

Thanks!

I like it, TS5 has permanent chats and hopefuly soon screensharing. Then I never need to go back to discord. I think they are still invite only but I got mine fast.~~ But I don’t think there is a ts5 server and ts5 client uses the ts3 server.~~

Edit: There is a ts5 server on github and ts3 can connect and speak/write but not use other features
