Can you list some of the differences between pleroma and akkoma? I know they removed the shoutbox (which was pretty useless) and chats (which I think should be improved instead of removed).
EDIT: I've also seen some akkoma instances and their frontend doesn't have some of the features that pleroma does, so it seems they've gone the hard fork route which is disappointing.
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/
