self-hosted VS server

You can fully self host it (server and everything): https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted

This is for folks that want a self-governed / "no big brother" Discord alternative, it's quite nice for that purpose, but it's lacking the Discord integrations (audio chat, etc.) that make it better for gamers.

Revolt looks interesting. I see they have a self-hosted repo too with docker images.

Have you checked out Revolt? https://revolt.chat/ I think you can self-host this one https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted

Everyone can host a Revolt instance as it's open source (the developers even published a script for Docker to make things easier), so you can even own and host a server. However, the official server is managed and owned by team members (and the main server is hosted in Germany, while media server is hosted in Lithuania according to the privacy policy).

Revolt aims to be an open source Discord alternative, looks like it would fit your use case

Not familiar but they seem to allow self hosting: https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted

I'm having the same problem! Saw someone opened this issue so hopefully we get a response soon.

My apps conf file for nginx is (THIS)[https://github.com/fosscord/fosscord-server/blob/staging/nginx.conf] (the conf file lacks to add ssl certificate location but i added them myself). Now when i run my app, i can access it on the same Internet connection but when from different Internet connection access it it says took too long to respond. Yes i have i have port forwarded port 443.

I installed the nginx by following the guide i linked in the blog and add my website.conf file (i changed the server name in the file i linked to my duckdns and port from 80 to 4000) to http.d folder.

It's besides the point but just as a fun fact, this statement isn't quite true if you use "discord server" to mean "discord-compatible servers", since a WIP compatible free server exists and there are some public instances.
