I know there is revolt as a FOSS alternative to discord but it's not federated.

Sure. I'm always kinda uncertain why people ask for libre software and then not want it for the same things i like about it. If you want something plug and play and decentralization isn't important to you: Maybe you don't need an alternative and Discord is the right thing for you. Otherwise it's not the software (architecture), you just want to go to an existing instance and let someone else do the self-hosting for you.
