It could be element / matrix. But at the moment that only gives you the option to make rooms / channels. You can’t make the Discord equivalent of a server with its own rooms / channels.
xe8 is correct. Communities in Element are only glorified collections of rooms without any of the features that Discord provide.
In fact, there’s an issue on the Element github repo called “Discordification of Riot/Matrix” and it’s a long, long list of missing features. Element is not a proper alternative to Discord.
I must be stupid because I’ve tried for 15 minutes to create / join a community with no luck. I’m on the iOS app.
The community tab is blank with no instructions or way to interact with it.
I’ve tried searching for existing communities. Nothing appears when trying to search. I’ve tried joining multiple rooms about the same topic and then grouping them together as a community somehow, but nothing seems to work.
I also tried on fluffychat. That has an option to join a “group”. But it seems what fluffychat calls a group is actually just a room.
I don’t think it exists yet.

You can. It is called Communities. It is groupings of rooms.
