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?

ha, no.. bluesky is not open to federation. they control the only router and do not allow connectivity to routers not controlled by them.

there isnt a single non-bluesky controlled instance that can federate natively with bluesky.

bluesky is just twitter with a little more user-controllable data sourcing. not that theres anything wrong with that, but its certainly not a part of any federation.

I believe the "free our feeds" people are working to change this though.

And they are either in for one of the following:

a $30 Million lesson where they learn that they will have to reinvent ActivityPub in order to be "properly" decentralized
a rug pull where they come up with a second relay like Bluesky but fork to give exclusive access for large institutions and the enterprise.

It's ridiculous they were asking for $30m to do something that ActivityPub already does. Wasted money that could have gone anywhere else
