    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.
