However, there is a replacement discussion system run by Fedigroups.social. I've tried to list the active public FediGroups at:

I did wonder kinda, thought it was a decent service. Helped me a ton.I know! I used it for a few things and was really upset when its demise was announced. I'm just happy a replacement has popped up.

@Fedi.Tips
#Fedigroups isn't a replacement system for gup.pe, it has been around before already and they use their own software. Apart from that many groups are run on a variety of Friendica and Hubzilla servers.

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 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!

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.

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.

The problem with ovo.st is there's nothing public facing at ovo.st, it's just a barebones list. It's not clear if the service will even keep going?
Hopefully its maintainer could add an official public page about it

Sorry to hear that, maybe the maintainer is away at Christmas or something? I'll try to message them too about this!

@FediTips there is a pretty substantial GitHub page and I think it’s such a simple service that that’s kind of all it needs

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 about your group, they should be able to help you.
