Ich habe gerade erst erfahren, dass a.gup.pe, der Group-Service im Fediverse, im September eingestellt wurde, nachdem die Domain abhanden gekommen ist. Die Kagi KI klärte mich auf:

@berlincyclingdiary ⚠️ #guppe ist schon seit Wochen tot, die Domain 🚫gup.pe wurde geklaut. 👿

Statt [email protected] jetzt z.B. bei #fedigroups schauen, welche da schon angegelgt wurden oder die gewünschte selbst anlegen: https://about.fedigroups.social/

bummer. only just found out that Gup.pe groups no longer work & that the service is irredeemably broken, with the domain hijacked by someone pushing sign-up to fastmail.com. (Not a great look Fastmail.)

I found @[email protected] pretty useful. The STS group too.

Has anyone tried out alternatives?

Would @[email protected] be worthwhile? Or @[email protected]?

Hey @wmurphyrd 👋 I notice as of September 2025, the domains gup.pe and immers.space seem to have expired and a.gup.pe has been replaced with a WordPress installation full of SEO-targeted content ab...

Late night thoughts about the a.gup.pe takeover/shutdown...

I mean... I could stand up a replacement service using NodeBB... How hard could it be?

HEY LOCALS!

Are you in any a.gup.pe groups?

Because you aren't anymore. The domain got snatched BEFORE expiration, surprising everyone.

(DO NOT USE .PE DOMAINS, they ALLOW this. It's insane.)

Here are more details:

https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips/115164282623836102

You should find your people and set up a replacement group. People who know are suggesting:

https://about.fedigroups.social/home

...as one possible replacement, but there are others as well.

Also, see announcements for our limit and suspend schedule, I'm not waiting for the buyer to set up a better spam engine, because they will.

Okay, some really bad news but also a suggestion for a way forward. The Guppe groups domain name was sold by their registrar before they could renew it. This means all Guppe groups are broken, and their web addresses point to a spam blog 😞 However, there is another group provider called FediGroups, you can find out more on their site: ➡️ https://about.fedigroups.social/home FediGroups has features that Guppe never had, including private groups. (More info about #Guppe situation: https://github.com/immers-space/guppe/issues/118 )

Vielleicht für alle interessant die @a.gup.pe abboniert haben oder darüber verteilen.

Ich bin grad drüber gestolpert:
https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips/115164143267987112

Die Instanz ist tot und anscheineind durch einen Domain-Grabber registriert.

Das feeden dorthin macht also keinen Sinn mehr.

@[email protected] "Damn the upstream registry sold it off before it expired. My registrar said I had till 9/15. I’ll cancel the subscriptions. And issue refunds" This is awful news! How can a registry sell a domain before it expires?

@cblte
Interessant. Ich war nie bei Meta und kenne diese Gruppen nicht. Gibt es dazu eine Alternative im #Fediverse, die man mit z.B. Mastodon (weil bekannter) verknüpfen kann? Ich meine jetzt nicht die eher rudimentäre #aguppe, sondern wo eine Gruppe einen Titel und ein Gruppenprofil hat. Denn wenn jetzt manche von Meta ins Fediverse wechseln, werden sie sowas gewiss suchen. Und ob sie deswegen noch einen extra-Account irgendwo anders anlegen wollen, bezweifle ich.

@granite Thank you for the video "Posting from #Mastodon to #Lemmy and #Kbin ". It is very descriptive and amazing how fast it goes.
...just a few small additions:
- when you post original posts from Mastodon (or others that don't have a heading field like #Akkoma) to a Lemmy community, the first paragraph becomes the heading that appears in Lemmy. There should be no hashtags in this paragraph, and better no tags either, because that will show up unsightly in the headline. The tags and hashtags better in the following paragraphs.
- it is not possible to write to different Lemmy communities at the same time, but it is possible with several group accounts (e.g. #Friendica - forums and #aguppe groups). But then the Lemmy community must be tagged first, and aguppe last.
- some lemmy instances also have test communities, e.g. feddit.de/c/test (German-speaking), there are certainly also some for English-speaking. There you can try out the finer points of the federation at your leisure.
- as far as I know, it works a bit differently with posts in #kbin communities: original posts do not end up directly in #Magazine, but only in the microblog section of kbin.

Following Memes on #lemmy is sadly no good option, because the images don't get transferred via #activitypub
And thats for both directions, so if you comment on a post and have images attached it does not work eigher (tried from #mastodon)
If they fix the image problem though the experience is pretty good. The communitites just work like they do with #aguppe (https://a.gup.pe/)
