revolt.chat is pretty good. It's open source as well. The interface is exactly the same as Discord. And best of all, you don't need nitro to have a gif background or profile picture. Markdown is also supported in the profile description so you can have very fancy descs.
I didn't get past the sign in page because I was having too much fun looking at all of the localization options for their website.
The default is "🇺🇸 English (Simplified)", but they have "☠️Pirate", "Toki Pona", "🥹Bottom", "😸OwO", "🪄 Enchantment Table", and many other funny options.
Last I checked it didn't have voice chat and just ran in a imbedded webpage
That's the current app. A native app is coming soon
the Voice Server Backend is basically done, currently there's ongoing re-works of the desktop client (limited demo at https://revolt.chat/app IIRC), as well as closed betas for iOS and Android native apps.
There's also a slew of Third-Party Clients and an open Client-Server API.
Just remember that this project is built by people in their free time, not a VC-Backed company.
Are there public servers / communities?
Yes. As I said, it's basically Discord.
I'll keep an eye on this. I use discord exclusively for gaming purposes, and voice chat is pretty important for that bc I'm still on console mostly for the next year or so (building a pc finally, thanks to a new job). So if they can get that going, I could convince several people to switch once I'm also on PC. Till then discord for my PS5 is about the best I can hope for.
