Matrix has spaces, which are collections of rooms.
There's also XMPP. It's not quite the same as discord, but it's another federated chat protocol.
It's not federated, but revolt.chat is probably the closest open source discord alternative.

You sure? It's not identical but it's close enough. (matrix) these are spaces
To answer your question, there's no alternative besides matrix. Sorry.
There is revolt and rocket.chat but yes I'd still do matrix over the others unless a direct discord-like clone is absolutely a must for some reason
Yep, but OP asked for a federated one and neither of those federate, which is why i didn't include them
