Before you move a community here
Feature-wise the most complete Discord clone here: threads and forums, roles, bots/HTTP+gateway API, custom emoji and stickers, 16 voice regions, plus a built-in per-user data export (Settings > Privacy Dashboard). Over 500k accounts by Oct 2026 but iOS is still 'coming early November 2026' and Android is a Play Store beta. Discord import is structure-only via a Discord server template (channels/roles; no messages or members) and has had reliability complaints; E2EE and federation are only on the 2026-2027 roadmap.
