Federated identity? Any interest in the Solid project that Tim Berners-Lee is doing?

[aschrijver]

You may want to breathe new life into the crossposted topics I maintained for a while between both communities. On SocialHub that is:

How Solid and ActivityPub complement each other best

This is a follow-up to Which links between ActivityPub and Solid project?. Solid (discussed on their community forum) and the Fediverse have a lot in common. For the future of the Decentralized Web it is very important for there to be convergance of initiatives, instead of fragmentation. I’d like to dedicate this thread to investigate the ways in which Solid and Fediverse can complement each other. First note that there are already ActivityPub + Solid combined applications, like openEngiadina …

And on Solid community forum:

How Solid and ActivityPub complement each other best

One issues is that both communities aren’t really healthy and keeping cross-pollination going is therefore hard. On SocialHub the reason is that AP dev movement is so grassroots and on Solid side the core team of people aren’t interested in community and focus first and foremost on commercial application of their specs to drive adoption.
