    One Community Group document that will be moving into the Working Group is LOLA, the live data portability spec that originated in the CG’s Data Portability Task Force. LOLA lets users move from one ActivityPub server to another while retaining all their social connections, their content, and their reactions. It’s a great improvement for data portability on the social web.

    Exciting stuff!

    While LOLA is great, I’d really love an established handshake mechanism for having two accounts on two bespoke services represent the same user.

    For example, I want to have a pixel fed and mastodon presence that can be authored between the two. However, you currently can’t make two accounts that are effectively linked to each other. I feel like this linking is important for further decentralizing the fediverse (by effectively decentralizing the user itself)

      I am unversed on all of this, but agree that interoperability between not only instances but also platforms like between lemmy and mastadon, and even a friend connection site to replace facebook, could help the fediverse grow to finally get a critical mass.
