In case you missed it, the Guppe discussion group system has permanently closed down.
However, there is a replacement discussion system run by Fedigroups.social. I've tried to list the active public FediGroups at:
➡
️ https://fedi.directory/tag/fediverse-groups
- To follow a listed group, copy-paste its Fediverse address into the search box in Mastodon, then click "Follow".
- To post to a group, mention its account in your post.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services But what is the difference to a lemmy group. She is addressed exactly like that. For example: @fpv@lemmy.ml
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services
Is this Fedigroups thing actually working?
I tried to set up a group a few days ago. The page showed a message that they would contact me once it was set up, but nothing ever happened.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services i personally use ovo.st as fedigroups doesn't have the same "instant group creation" thing and the groups it creates aren't actually proper groups. though to each their own!
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services
Thanks for reminding! 🙏
I have a question:
I still see some toots tagged to a.gup.pe group accounts. Is it simply a waste of characters and time, or are there any imaginable unexpected consequences and they’d better stop tagging? 🤔
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Thank you for your continued maintenance of this part of the fedi "garden" - I had missed this one.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services guppy closed? Wow that sux
@mina@berlin.social
Hi again, I got a reply from Fedigroups, they are still working, they were just taking a break at Christmas.
If you try getting in touch with @hello@fedigroups.social about your group, they should be able to help you.
@mina@berlin.social
Sorry to hear that, maybe the maintainer is away at Christmas or something? I'll try to message them too about this!
@adachika192@hcommons.social
It's a waste of time, but in theory the new owner of the gup.pe domain might somehow restore their functions for spamming etc.
If a domain has fallen into hands of domain squatters and there's no chance of getting it back, it's a good idea to just block it.
