I know there is revolt as a FOSS alternative to discord but it's not federated.

Matrix and clients for it like Element have always been my go to for federated chat like discord/teams/mattersmost. The main missing feature is voice channels imho.

Which is coming. Eventually. At some point.

I hear everyone talk about element but when i go to check it out i see it is minimum 50 users. Am i missing the smaller tier?

To clarify, that's for them hosting the service for you, and is intended for enterprises mainly. You can self host element, since it's open source, while only paying your own server costs, or just use an existing instance like on https://app.element.io

Self hosting might make sense on that small of a scale.
