In Element (an app that uses Matrix protocol) you can basically organize yourself as in Discord. Rooms/Servers with subchannels that you can invite people to and distribute admin/mod rights.
I guess it is up to the person creating the channel. There are "Spaces" and "Rooms". Spaces are the equivalent of discord "servers". But rooms can also be created outside of a space, making them similar to a group in Telegram/WhatsApp.

Not really. I'm more of a XMPP user. And I think Lemmy could have a separate field for XMPP also instead of only having one for Matrix. XMPP's good

so... is matrix like discord, but a decentralized version of that?

Not really, it's more like Whatsapp. I don't know why people keep comparing it to Discord.

How do you do that? I have Element but all the chats I've joined are organised as single channels.

Is it possible to subscribe to a Matrix room from Lemmy without having to have an account on a Matrix instance?
smorks@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 3y
no, that's not possible. Matrix uses it's own protocol.

Sadly no. Matrix is not a part of the fediverse.
