We shipped a pretty cool feature to FediDB that allows anyone to edit and answer questions about software projects, like a wiki, and use that data to power a new software comparison feature.

    Very cool. I was looking forward to something like this coming into existence or else I might have done it (probably with worse UI/UX than you did :D ).

    And I’m glad to see that Mbin is still included in the list of major threadiverse platforms.

    I don’t get it, this just looks like you’re trying to shoehorn discussion board type software into a comparison tool for microblogging

    This list of features is microblogging-centered. Some things like boosts and mastodon make no sense for the threadiverse. And some things which should be there to compare, aren’t.

          But Mbin can do some microblogging things. It’s what distinguishes it from other threadiverse software. I think it makes sense to include if one of the three supports it, no?

    A feature that Piefed has that I wish Lemmy would implement too is URL filters; perhaps it could be added to the chart after ‘word filters’?

    Arctic has a great frontend implementation of it with Regex support, but the app hasn’t been updated in a while.

    Also, for simplicity perhaps the tables should have the more advanced information implemented with a visibility toggle? All of the information listed may overwhelm new users and leave an impression that the Fediverse is particularly complex.
