Nice! Curious also about PyLova.

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.
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
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!
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?
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?
I mean I love Mbin but it's kindve the odd child out here. We should really have a section for Threadiverse and for Microblog
there's a filter to show "only differences" which I think is a good way to do these comparisons, since some Threadiverse software could have microblogging-centered features like Mbin does
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
@dansup@lemmy.world thank for the overview table :)
Even on reddit, there are two general buckets of forum style user: those who make it an identity, and those who rotate accounts and remain anonymous.(1) Piefed tends to favor the former and Lemmy the latter based on the feature matrix presented. I use Mastodon for the former. I still read reddit for my game and the news coverage is better (I have a multireddit of all the news subreddits, something Lemmy can't do yet).(2)
(1) these tend to trend with the type of content as I consume both; the former seems to be much more engaged in posting real world news, blog articles and the like, whereas the latter tend to enjoy the comics, memes, jokes and other lighthearted content. Hence mastodon is the serious place and lemmy is the fun comic place in my life. Piefed would be the serious version of Lemmy I guess? shrug
(2) aside, I don't like the Piefed webUI so beyond testing accounts with it, do not spend a lot of time using it. I like the Lemmy webUI much, much better and it's what I use a lot of the time. I've heard it can do something like mulitreddits but, well...
Multireddit are Piefed feeds. If you like the old.reddit UI, https://old.piefed.zip is almost a perfect clone.
Thank nice analysis :)
Hence mastodon is the serious place and lemmy is the fun comic place in my life. Piefed would be the serious version of Lemmy I guess? shrug
I don't know. On french that would be the opposite. Mastodon is more chill than the threadiverse. We have lot meme but that depend on your subcriptions and the french fediverse mostly use mastodon.
I don't see piefed as a serious version of lemmy. i can subcribe to meme community and block every post on politic by keywords or community. On mastodon, i don't know what will they post because they don't have group, community.
For me the huge difference, until lemmy v1, is that piefed merge comment from post that share the same link, and merge every related community under a feed. For example this one : https://piefed.social/f/fediverse
And there are some front-end as Blorp, voyager (?). Pylova is also worth mentioning, they focus on UI and improve piefed features. It pain me to see them apart...
Shouldn't "Trending content" for lemmy be also marked as partial like mbin?
Why does it seem like any time the answer favours Lemmy, Piefed is marked as unknown?
