How interesting. Isn't the did: system also what AT Protocol (Bluesky) uses? 👀

That's correct.did: prefix is used to denote cryptographic identifiers, in theory one could even take a did:plc identifier from Bluesky and then use it as identity for an ActivityPub application:https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/pull/3943

DIDs aren't unique to Bluesky

Didn't mean it was. Just mentioned it as it was the most common example I knew. But thanks for the link! Reading it now.

Thanks. This is a little complicated to wrap my head around. Is this already implemented and we just have to toggle it, or is this something that needs a special/unreleased version of lemmy in order to activate?

I doubt that it will be implemented in Lemmy, the application architecture needs to be different in order to support cryptographic identities.But there are other implementations (they are listed near the end of the document).
