Matrix is a federated protocol to build real-time data sharing apps. Mostly focuces on chat apps.
It has flexible model of rooms. You can create room with 2 people that behave like WhatsApp chat, invite more and you have group chat, make room of rooms (called spaces) that works like Discord communities, also there are video rooms in the way that would work like mix of Discord voice channels with invite links like Zoom. Room is decentralized across multiple servers and to add people you eather invite or create a public alias (like #general:lemmy.world).
This is a very good explanation.
