So I feel like I’m doing peertube wrong. I’m trying to find good content, but it feels like every single instance I find is just “here’s the linux news, here’s the new linux tips, here’s the linux gossip, linux linux linux!”
And I do not give a shit about linux. I learned long ago that I’m not smart enough to figure it out. I just want to find the non-tech, non-video game content. I don’t know what I’m doing. I want to search all the instances, all at once, and see what the system recommends.
I don’t have a peertube account. I have a piefed account. I’m not against getting a peertube account, but at this point, it’s ruining the whole point of the fediverse. If I need to register for a peertube account to have a decent experience, what’s the point in having all these services be interconnected. Registering for peertube account would be the THIRD account I would have for the fediverse. But at this point, I just want to find the content.
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.
