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)

This is something I believe the ActivityPub API can tackle...

Are the Lemmy and piefed devs going to be a part of this? We need some representation so its not all addressing micro blogging things

To my knowledge, one must be an "invited expert" in order to join these discussions.

However, the working group is only one aspect. The community group has been in existence for a number of years. I am part of that group (although I admit I don't go to as many meetings as I ought to), and try to represent the threadiverse as best as I can.

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!
