For those who don’t know, a.gup.pe is an independent service that brings group behaviour (somewhat like communities here) to mastodon. It’s kinda nice and quite a few use it on mastodon.
Interestingly, it seems you can subscribe to one of their groups from lemmy!?
I just tried !blackmastodon@a.gup.pe and it seems to have worked and showed up in the community search! Not sure if posts are actually federating though, which would make sense as many might not know about this.
This might be a nice example of the two platforms being pretty compatible with each other??
Didn’t know that about kbin? Does that happen thorugh the magazine or microblog interface (or both?!)
Also … I don’t know if it works well.
I think it’s both, but most of the content that appears will appear under the microblog section, because that’s where most users posting content to gup.pe groups live
And as an FYI, when I looked at !adhd@a.gup.pe on my local lemmy instance, it has content already federated to it, so that’s a good sign!
And as a further FYI, !fediversenews@venera.social, which is a friendica group (works the same way as a gup.pe group) had a huge amount of content already showing in lemmy when I looked, which suggests it’s federating well
#threadiverse … Assemble!!
The adhd group isn’t populated on my end (lemmy.ml) … which is actually helpful information because that probably means it’s a federation/cache thing and not a software problem … good sign indeed.
It most likely means that someone on my instance has already discovered and used this feature to subscribe to the two groups I mentioned, but no one on your instance is following them yet
