 Non-root users can use almost all features, but most interesting
 use-cases need `user_allow_other` to be defined in `/etc/fuse.conf`.
 
+bindfs is developed and tested primarily on Linux with [FUSE 3](https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse).
+
+Support for Linux with FUSE 2, for MacOS with [fuse-t](https://www.fuse-t.org/) and for FreeBSD with [fuse4bsd](http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/fusefs-kmod/) is best-effort.
+[MacFUSE](https://macfuse.github.io/) might work, but is not properly supported, since it's impossible to test it without access to a physical Mac. Volunteer maintenance of MacFUSE support is welcome.
