I have no clue what to try first.

Then you have a very long learning curve ahead of you. Two of the most common stacks for building web projects are ASP.NET | Open-source web framework for .NET[^] and PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor[^]. You would also need to learn a server language such as C# or VB.NET if you go the ASP.NET route. Plus you probably need a database for the backend, and you would definitely need to learn CSS and Javscript for the forntend.

I'm not sure knowing programming languages and databases is enough. I'm proficient in React, GraphQL, Javascript, NodeJS, MySQL, MongoDB, Docker. But building chat aggregator like all-in-one messenger with plugin system seems to require lot more.

What you are asking about is really a research project at the moment. And this is not something that can be answered in any more detail in a forum that is designed for quick answers to detailed technical questions.
