It's also federated, so anyone can run a server and any of your users can join any other servers. I've been slowly migrating my discord server over to it

    The problem with revolt is that they didn't do federation, so every server is going to be limited to people who want accounts on that one, and discord has shown us that people want one interface to see all of their servers. So I'm not surprised. I like their UI, but they need to federate with other servers.

    As for hosting I understand what you're saying. There's a few options to host your own with a couple of clicks online, but paid of course. To test it out I'd say set up on a smaller instance and see how you like it. It's rougher than discord for sure, but I've tried all of the others and it's where I'm landing.
