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

Is there any interest or movement on this subject within the AP community?

There is a similar concept: nomadic identity. Though I’m not sure if it’s the same thing you’re talking about:

Nomadic identity for the fediverse?

hey all, was wondering, is anyone still actively working on #nomadicidentity for the fediverse? My interest in nomadic identity is somewhat inspired by scuttlebutt: to allow for migrating an account between servers, without needing the consent of the server you are migrating away from. To start the conversation, and give a bit more detail on how I imagine this could be implemented: I imagine you have a secret key for your account which is stored on your laptop (or bitwarden), not the server. …

I’m currently writing a specification for a mechanism of linking any key-based identity to a fediverse account, you can find some additional information in that thread. AFAIK Solid uses domain-based identities, so unfortunately it’s out of scope.
