Bluesky, which uses it, has been opened to federation now, and the standard basically just looks better than ActivityPub. Has anyone heard about a project to make a Lemmy-style "link aggregator" service on it?

I believe the "free our feeds" people are working to change this though.

And they are either in for one of the following:

a $30 Million lesson where they learn that they will have to reinvent ActivityPub in order to be "properly" decentralized
a rug pull where they come up with a second relay like Bluesky but fork to give exclusive access for large institutions and the enterprise.

There are important features that ATPro has that activity pub doesn't. I'd prefer activity pub be the winner but they really need to improve some things. Namely, identity. Bluesky identity is more portable.

Identity was already solved with Zot aka Nomad, which is part of the Fediverse and easier to implement than ATProto.

It's mostly been ignored because it's just not that important to people, apparently.

It's not implemented in mastodon or lemmy though. I'm not saying it can't be implemented, but it hasn't been in any platform.

Nomad is very good at what it does.
