Recommendations for accessible fediverse software?

I'm working on a blog post for people thinking of joining the fediverse and want to include this information!

Here's what I think I know so far (although might be wrong) ... other suggestions welcome

Mastodon's web UI is pretty good from accessibility perspective, but has some issues.

Pinafore used to be the most accessible web UI but isn't maintained anymore. Semaphpore is a fork doesn't seem to have had any updates in the last year, so I'm not sure of its status. Enafore is another fork but it's described as "somewhat unstable".

I haven't seen anything about what Mastodon mobile apps are better or worse from an accessibility perspective.

For Lemmy, OurBlind says that moderators have and continue to work with the developers to improve accessibility; Thunder, a Lemmy app for iOS and Android, performs well; and Mlem developers are implementing native accessibiity.
