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.
Maybe it’s because I’m on mobile right now, but it looks like a lot of the descriptions are cut off without any way to expand it. Assuming that texts ending in ”…” is supposed to continue.
I will improve the mobile layout, sorry about that!
Nice! Curious also about PyLova.
At this point isn’t it just piefed with a “feature” or two stripped or reworked?
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.
You can suggest new questions that are limited to specific segments like Forums and link aggregators
But can you suggest to remove existing questions?
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.

Yea the features are already grouped, I think they could be collapsed by default and just show the number of features supported for each of the groups, and then you can expand
Very nice!
I’ve submitted some updates to the features.
That is cool. Would it also be possible to search for software that has a desired feature?
Good idea! You can now search by feature!
Freaking great! Thank you!
I don’t get it, this just looks like you’re trying to shoehorn discussion board type software into a comparison tool for microblogging
