So this is cool - you can follow Mastodon Guppe Groups (eg. @bookstodon) on Fedia and it correctly recognises them as magazines with a Microblog!

  • I got confused there… “Mastodon Guppe Groups” and then there is a #fediverse hashtag.

    Initially I thought it was a typo… but now I’m not sure since Chris is aware of the “fediverse”.

    But, yes, you can subcribe to #Friendica and #Guppe groups in Kbin. They turn into a #Kbin “Magazine” (with a microblog tab) if you search for it in a Kbin instance.

    However, currently, there seems to be a bug. See my post: https://c.im/@youronlyone/110528686804356505 or https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/90

    To summarise, if you post a Kbin “Thread” (not post/microblog), any Kbin accounts that replies to it will not be received by a Guppe group.

    (Also note, since people get confused, I tested this on fedia.io not kbin.social. The flagship server, kbin.social, is currently behind Cloudflare which is blocking most fediverse requests. The fedia.io is working fine.)

      Yes, I see guppe as its own thing, hence the Fediverse hashtag (the Mastodon part was probably extraneous to requirements). I didn’t think posting threads to such a group would work, so it’s good to hear that that works as well (barring the bug you’ve mentioned)

          The fact the microblogging stuff shows up here is ace, I don’t have a Lemmy account but get the impression it will just discard anything which isn’t a reply or a proper new thread?
          The routing to a group via hashtag is cool too!
