Bluesky, which uses it, has been opened to federation now, and the standard basically just looks better than ActivityPub. Has anyone heard about a project to make a Lemmy-style “link aggregator” service on it?

    It’s a good blog post, thanks. I made a quick summery elsewhere in the thread.

    It’s really unfortunate that we’ve ended up with two populated protocols for federation, both of which have a major flaw. In our case, it’s no established support for moving accounts. In theirs, its a component that’s so bulky the federatability is questionable (and no federated DMs).

      What major flaw do you believe ActivityPub has?

        I mean, it doesn’t have to be part of the standard (it could just as well be Lemmy-specific), but no built-in way to move accounts sucks. AT protocol provides a nice little solution for that.

        They mentioned the flaws of both platforms.

            Thanks! Does Lemmy display something when people have their cake day so it’s easily visible? Mbin (which I use) doesn’t, so I wasn’t actually aware until I saw your comment.
