Introducing FediDB Software Comparison, Lemmy vs Mbin vs Piefed

Linked to https://fedidb.com/software/compare?software=lemmy%2Cmbin%2Cpiefed

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.

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

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
