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??
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.
