What are some open source projects that I could use instead?

Matrix (with its main client Element) is probably the most popular Discord competitor right now. It’s libre and federated, just like Lemmy!

The toughest part of signing up for Fediverse stuff for me is choosing which instance/server to sign up on. (Right now I'm trying to pick a Matrix "homeserver".) Any recommendations? I like to go to some of the smaller ones to help out with decentralization, but not one so small it’ll probably only be up when the owner feels like it and not 24/7.

And there are other clients in case you don't like Element:

Revolt is probably the most similar.
