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.

See https://a.gup.pe/

Interestingly, it seems you can subscribe to one of their groups from lemmy!?

I just tried [email protected] 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??

    Woah, that’s new, and a game changer! kbin has been able to do that since release, and I used it gratuitously!

    Edit - And when I looked at [email protected] on my local instance, it has content already federated to it, so that’s a good sign!

      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 [email protected] on my local lemmy instance, it has content already federated to it, so that’s a good sign!

          And as a further FYI, [email protected], 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
