I also came up with a way for software to describe support of many types of features and federation capability, with a source and version field that indicates when and where it was implemented.
Why?
To support the Feature Finder:
https://fedidb.com/software/finder
And also to support Software Comparisons:
https://fedidb.com/software/compare?software=lemmy,mbin,piefed
The best part? Anyone can contribute by logging in with their fediverse account, and mods, janitors and admins approve every edit first.
It's not magic. It's community. ❤️
FediDB used to only list software that I manually approved, and it's because I wanted every one to have a description, logo and more info.
That left the impression that there were only 70 fediverse projects.
Then last month, I refactored everything to list every known software project.
I didn't stop there, instead of curating a software + apps json files, I built a fedi wiki into FediDB.
With a news feed, federated blog, bots and datasets.
