Telegram channels are basically discord so:
https://matrix.org/
Discord and Matrix is more messangers and "groups chats" when 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'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.
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.
