Federation with [#Bluesky](https://calckey.social/tags/Bluesky) (via [#ATprotocol](https://calckey.social/tags/ATprotocol)) is getting closer. The sandbox environment has now been launched, which means you can set up your own AT protocol-enabled server. It's possible that Bluesky will finally start federating by the end of summer. However, knowing how most dev teams work, this launch is not a certainty. It always takes time to iron out bugs. How successful do you think Bluesky's federation will be? And how will it impact the current userbase using Bluesky?

I'm hearing rumours that [#NodeBB](https://calckey.social/tags/NodeBB) is adding support for [#ActivityPub](https://calckey.social/tags/ActivityPub). Some folks have told me that this implementation will have group federation capabilities similar to [#Lemmy](https://calckey.social/tags/Lemmy) and [#Kbin](https://calckey.social/tags/Kbin). I need to investigate this rumour further. If true, this is huge. At the very least, I know NodeBB is *discussing* ActivityPub.
