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 !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??

    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
