🤷 this is mostly gibberish to me, but the heart seems to be in the right place, and perhaps someone here might be interested in this project

          Yeah it seems like midnight.pub just has their posts on a gemini protocol for browsing as well as http. Thanks for getting me knee deep into browsing a bunch of smallweb sites I’ve never encountered before because I’m not a developer nor am I smart enough to contribute to such projects - I love window-gazing into shit like this and barely understanding 90% of it but going ‘waow people are living such different lives than me’ lol.

          More on Gemini here if you’re interested: https://geminiprotocol.net/ (it definitely has a better name than finger/spartan/gopher which are all similarish non-http protocols but idk…)

          I love how apparently the user lingo is ‘gemspace’ and ‘gopherspace’. Hexbear needs to get an embassy in the Mare Crisium Soviet Socialist Regency (gemini://soviet.circumlunar.space; gopher://soviet.circumlunar.space)

          Lagrange if you wanna browse gemspace: https://git.skyjake.fi/gemini/lagrange

          • Thanks for the resources doggirl-thumbsup

            On android, I use Buran (available on fdroid) and it works well enough for me.

            The first page I landed on when I checked gemini a few months back was called zaibatsu corporation or something along the lines(cyberpunk setting maybe). Seems like it had two sister sites and this was one of them which I missed. Thanks for mentioning it. They have a cap on the number os users though.

            I really miss internet from the 00s.
