ActivityPods are being developed. From their website:

What is the main shortcoming of ActivityPub ?

ActivityPub wants to make it possible to create decentralized apps. But to post videos, you need an account on a PeerTube instance. And to post images, you need an account on a PixelFed instance. You must thus handle multiple accounts, with their profile, list of followers, etc.

How does ActivityPods solve this shortcoming ?

With ActivityPods, you have only one profile, one outbox, one inbox and one list of followers - all in a single place. Applications connect to your Pod to post activities, read the inbox and fetch data. And of course they can connect to any existing fediverse application !

It's called private/public key pair. If you give the public key to a website, they can let you in as long as you have the private key to encrypt a message that matches the pubic key.

As such, your public key is safe to share and you can always verify yourself as the owner of the private key if you have it.

SSH log in works like this.

Isn't OIDC basically what you want? You just need to convince the forums to use it.

If you do that you're just connecting your activity across the web. That's why all the data-mining companies have those login systems.

That's look like federated SSO to me.
