I quess we all love and hate Discord. I have been looking for a selfhosted alternative for quite some time now. Hope this is useful for someone.

Here are my best finds:

Spacebar (Fosscord) - Interesting but kinda hard to setup.

Matrix Synapse (element etc) - Works great, but not quite what im looking for.

Rocket Chat - Nice but not quite what im looking for.

Mattermost - Amazing for teams etc, not so much for gaming.

Mumble - Good but dated, lacking features.

Teamspeak 3 - Used to, and still love this one, but it lacks features.

Teamspeak 5/6? - Releasing screensharing, video calls etc soon (i think) confirmed selfhostable but i dont know when yet. Looks really promising
