Their FAQ has a section on the differences.
I think it was a good decision to remove the chat. Apparently it worked quite badly, was not supported by any other AP software and there are other protocols like xmpp or Matrix that are much better suited for private chats.
This faq? I don't see any comparison with pleroma.
Lemmy seems to support it, though not very well. I agree xmpp or matrix are better suited for that, but ppl still want DMs and pleroma chats are a better alternative to that.
There is a comparison here too: https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma/
It explains the differences and links to a more detailed explanation.
I guess you want a table listing technical differences in detail? That would make little sense as both projects are still pulling changes from each other and are in active development, especially Akkoma. So such a table would be outdated within a very short time. Look that the git change log I guess?
