Hello! What is the best alternative to Telegram channels in Fediverse? I need platform where I can post messages in different topics and users can subscribe to them.

        Telegram Channels similar to Mastodon but with specific topic

        So is Matrix. There are both general interest and topical Matrix rooms (eg support or development channels for specific software projects).

        AFAIK Matrix isn’t ActivityPub compatible like most of the fediverse, if that’s what you’re asking, but there are official and unofficial bridges for several other platforms so it may be possible.

          I need channel to be visible in Fediverse.

          I can just create several Mastodon accounts and use each for separate topic bit it is not very comfortable.

        I’m not understanding. With Matrix you get channels like “Rust” where you join and it’s all about the Rust programming language. Or you can have a group chat with a few people in it.

      They’re not, they’re more like Twitter circles. A channel is one or more authors (that can be masked as simply a post by the channel) blogging to infinite many followers.

      No, in Lemmy communities everyone can post messages, and discuss.

      I can just create several Mastodon accounts and use each for separate topic bit it is not very comfortable.

          Yeah, a lemmy moderator only community seems like the closest analog until/unless mastodon gets a topics concept.

          Lemmy is not that I need. Mastodon satisfies my needs more but I cannot create topics, unfortunately

        Those are probably your best options right now.

        You could also write your own platform that does exactly what you want.

    I wouldn’t say best, but Movim (xmpp based) has a personal and shared blog feature, which the latter being somewhat similar in concept to Telegram channels, even though the UX is more blog like.

    Try to rephrase the question: is there an alternative to Mastadon in Fediverse where you can write posts in different threads (not only in your own feed)?

        Seems like this is the only way. But if I want to create many accounts I need have several emails or self-host own instance.
