MODERATORS
Doesn't look like it. There doesn't seem to be much of anything about discovering compatible things on other fediverse platforms (e.g. MBIN magazines, a.gup.pe groups, pixelfed groups [if they even exist], PeerTube channels, discourse / hubzilla whatevers, Flipboard thingies, etc).
For PeerTube, a good discovery tool is https://fedi.video, but that also involves tootling around on some other instance and copy/pasting handles back to your own platform, so it's not exactly that convenient.
I don't even know what some of those are!
A.gup.pe
No clue what that is. But the rest of the message just shows how much work EVERYTHING needs. It shouldn't take specialized knowledge, to achieve only a fractured and disjointed experience with that being the best there is.
It's one thing to say youtube sucks, and corporate control sucks......but if you're going to compete with it, I'm fine with the federated seperate instances.....but the platform still has to work!
a.gup.pe is a 3rd-party effort to wrangle individual Mastodon posts into Groups, so that Group-based fediverse platforms can follow them (a more familiar term for Group is 'community').
Example: https://piefed.social/c/photography@a.gup.pe
You're saying that piefed community is an example of a.gup.pe and all content in that community is all pulled from different mastadon posts?
I feel like I'm wrong, but thats how I'm reading what you said.
Yeah - those individual Mastodon posts were tagged with
@photography@a.gup.peby their authors, and a.gup.pe picked up in the tag and made it part of the Group so PieFed could display it in a community.For example: an original post was https://mastodon.social/@zhhz/113068522102706157 and how it appears on PieFed is https://piefed.social/post/225229
So, you tag it with @photography, but how does piefed know it's targeted?
a.gup.pe tells us - they Announce the post the same way that !fediverse@lemmy.world Announced this post. I'm subscribed to both !photography@a.gup.pe and !fedivere@lemmy.world, so get content from both in the same way.
