Eh - they solve different problems. Bluesky is optimised to be able to aggregate likes across billions of tweets happening in a as-federated-as-possible way. That’s a hard technical problem. I don’t believe any existing federated solution can be “dropped in” to solve it. It’s tricky even in an entirely centralised system.

That might be part of the problem. It's self-evident why you need to do that if you're building Facebook or Twitter (a single platform where all the communication happens across a single graph), but that seems counter to how federation works (where everyone's social graph is different).
