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?

good luck to them. the router piece is incredibly top heavy and not designed for horizontal scaling.

Yep. What do you think the chances are you could write something that does the job of the router and app view, but in a totally off-standard, more point-to-point way?

In the meanwhile, it's just a matter of bridging, I guess.

the protocol itself creates a barrier to entry preventing other organizations. it puts all the eggs in one basket.
