Revolt: Open-source alternative to Discord written in Rust
I believe it can. The protocol seems pretty thoroughly documented https://developers.revolt.chat/

Revolt: Open Source Discord Like Chat Platform
Great to see innovation, but it doesn't federate. Being open source alone doesn't bring users freedoms when it comes to social networks. Think of Signal for example, which is very locked down. Social networks/apps/etc. have their moat in their userbase, not the code. Not even tik tok with its famous recommendation algorithm. Reddit used to be open source, now isn't. Forks couldn't take off because the users were/are on the main fork. If it doesn't federate, the network being open source right now helps little. It can be closed any day and users can't do anything about it because >90% don't care.

What's not open source of Revolt Chat? Last time I checked, they were using GPL 3.0.

Revolt: Open-source alternative to Discord written in Rust
Just want to suggest that if you're interested in doing this in the future, please put in effort to define interfaces up front. I took a quick look at the codebase and it looks like mongo is "in there pretty good"[0] without any abstraction to make it easily shimmable.
Just a little specification around the that interface (Trait) will go a long way to making other backends possible and should make it much easier to know and manage the API contract a capable database must provide.
