@aveltens did that as an experiment and got quite far, though it’s not a simple thing to do: [Discussion: Solid vs. ActivityPub - #34 by aveltens](https://forum.solidproject.org/t/discussion-solid-vs-activitypub/2685/34)

More details in German on his blog: [Mit Solid nach Mastodon posten, geht das? | Datenwissen](https://datenwissen.de/2020/07/mit-solid-nach-mastodon-posten-geht-das)

But the summary is: you can get quite far theoretically, but it’s only a proof-of-concept and it’s not clear how well it’ll work in practice. I also don’t expect it to work with every Solid server.
