The work I've done on CList is about creating social interacting learning networks based on personal data spaces and environments, so there's a lot of overlap with ActivityPods, which "Brings together ActivityPub and Solid Pods and empowers developers to create truly decentralized applications." As described here, "all your data are stored in your Pod. You can choose a Pod provider you trust, or host it yourself....  you can share your data with anyone on the Internet, thanks to the ActivityPub protocol." And "since all data are stored using semantic web standards, they can be accessed and understood by many apps." Really interesting. I think one of the big difference between CList and this sort of project is that while you can store or host data yourself, you don't have to. Anyhow, here is the ActivityPod documentation.
