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??

    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.
