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.
Happy cake day!
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.
Yes it does. You have a little cake next to your username, kind of the same way as on old Reddit.
