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 are basically discord so:
Discord and Matrix is more messangers and “groups chats” when Telegram Channels similar to Mastodon but with specific topic
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 think it doesn’t have channels
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.

It seems what I need but it is incompatible with ActivityHub, so cannot be followed or viewed in Fediverse (Mastodon)
Websites can be bridged to ActivityPub with https://fed.brid.gy
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)?

Could use a Lemmy community I guess
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.
You can set a community to only allow moderators to post
Lemmy is not that I need. Mastodon satisfies my needs more but I cannot create topics, unfortunately
You cannot create topics on Mastodon, but you can limit who can post on Lemmy communities.
Yeah, a lemmy moderator only community seems like the closest analog until/unless mastodon gets a topics concept.
Also Lemmy posts aren’t displayed correctly on Mastodon
Will the WordPress integration work for you?
It is too powerful for small messages posting
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.
It is like what I need. I registered on conversations.im but can’t access neither my account nor created channel from Mastodon. How to fix this?
I think you are confused. conversations.im is not the best place to register for using Movim. Better chose from https://join.movim.eu
Also, XMPP is not ActivityPub, which Mastodon uses.
I thought XMPP compatible with ActivityHub. Then I need something else
There is an experimental bridge between the two, but yes you are probably better off looking for something else for now if you need Mastodon compatibility.
