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??
You must log in or # to comment.
Oh this is interesting.
Having tested this by subscribing to a group here, and seeing some posts to it via my Mastodon account, I can confirm that it doesn’t work. The posts don’t show up in Lemmy (they do in Kbin as I noted previously).
This looks like something which probably should be fixed. I’ve raised an issue here: https://github.com/immers-space/guppe/issues/98
Sounds interesting, testing here as well, adding allstartrek to both mastodon and lemmy account here (going boldly into the unknown ;) )
Curious if there will be anything to see.
Yea, if the subscription is new to the instance, federation will have to happen over time to get content across. I imagine old content from before the first subscription will not ever be visible.
Definitely works in Kbin (the posts show up as microblog)
That isn’t surprising, as a.gup.pe is designed to work with microblogs such as mastodon. If they didn’t work in the microblog interface I would have said that there’s a pretty bad bug somewhere.
Do they work in the magazines section though? Because in a few ways that’s more interesting … all of hte replies would be rendered as threads of comments. Though … I’ve forgotten … kbin is doing that already with the microblogs?
Yes, that’s what it does - the guppe group shows as a magazine, all the posts show up in the microblog section of that magazine.
