Hey everyone! So I have been a fan of gopher for a while since discovering it, and have been trying out Gemini protocol as well. So far I like poking around, the thing I’m a little confused at is TLS certificates.
I’m also wondering what Gemini offers that gopher doesn’t. Some more features ? I know their page explains but its a little above me.
Do we think its something that could take off? I do find it a little hard to navigate, and I do wish there was just a small amount more interaction available (like a simple message board or something , how else would I let a person know I enjoy their writings? Email I suppose if they list it)
Anyway, I would like to start a capsule of my own. I highly doubt anyone would see it but its still fun

Pretty much.

It already took off. There have been regulars since 2020. Gemini is certainly not going to be mainstream.

Check out bbs.geminispace.org. If you want to talk about someone else’s writing, you can contact them, as you said, or you can write about their writing on your own pages!

That’s why I use it!
Thank you!
Yeah, I like that its underground. Makes it fun. I wish i could show friends but its too scary for them.
I’ll check out that BBS!
Would you recommend smol.pub for an easy starting point for a blog ?
