There is ActivityPods which combines activitypub with Solid pods. It offers one profile, one inbox, etc rather than, say two Lemmy accounts and five Mastodons.
It looks okay but the big issue I see is that you’re currently locked in with one pod storage provider. That should change as more appear I suppose.
Edit: I just gave it another try and now I remember why I gave up on it before. Despite all the lofty promises there isn’t actually any way to connect existing fediverse accounts. It simply doesn’t do what it says on the tin.
So…it does do what it sets out to do, just not in the way you would think.
ActivityPods doesn’t bring Solid to ActivityPub accounts. It brings ActivityPub protocol capabilities to Solid Pods. The reason this is significant is because Fediverse platforms historically use relational databases, whereas this is like using Google Drive and files to create a graph database. Additionally, ActivityPods is a framework for building apps on top of.
Damon, my friend and co-founder at We Distribute, is building a really killer app on top of it called Memory.
There’s a lot of misinformation in your post. There’s not single pod provider. It does what it states it does. A platform/client needs to build on top of it. It doesn’t hurt to ask questions. It also doesn’t hurt to state that you don’t understand as opposed to making matter of fact statements and be wrong.
Not for Solid, no. The ActivityPods site, however, features a prominent “Create your pod” button that leads to the mypod.store website. I interpret that as a single provider, but feel free to dudesplain to me how I’m wrong.

Oh, okay. So it’s currently a staircase leading nowhere. I see the functionality in that. Thanks again for the valuable “well actually” snark.
I apologise that I didn’t provide a notice that I’m not a qualified expert and didn’t reach out to the developers before writing a f——ng comment on Lemmy.

Thanks for clearing that up, Sean 🙂
