Any good free alternatives to Slack and Discord?

Hi! 

I am looking for an alternative to Slack and Discord that is free and, preferably, open-source. I will be using it with four more people to communicate about our programming project, so it would be nice if it:

  • had integrations with, e.g., GitHub
  • allowed for sharing (and properly formatting) code snippets
  • had a good search and retained history for at least a year (Slack's free tier only keeps the last 90 days)
  • had mobile apps for Android and iOS.

Thanks!

MK
