Looking to find more indie/small-web content to replace big tech sites. I enjoy Lemmy and Mastodon, but does anyone know any good Gemini and Gopher protocol sites that actively post content?
Gopher? Now there’s something I haven’t heard about in a long time
Gopher is still very much alive. There are quite a few gopher blogs (AKA phlogs or glogs) out there. Here are some popular phlog aggregators, you can use lynx (my favorite) or a web proxy in a standard browser to view them. Some clients will let you browse gopher or gemini, like lagrange, castor, bombadillo or elpher.

Great post, thanks
Check these out as a starting point - gemini://smol.chorebuster.net/links-for-people-new-to-gemini.gmi
Damn, I was gonna suggest my site but then you said that you wanted the site to actively be posting and looks at posts, clearly I’ve been starving whoever’s reading. 😆

It’s lionir.ca! It does both Gemini and HTTP
I just browse from gemini://skyjake.fi/~Cosmos/ which is kind of like a link aggregator on Gemini.
Sweet, that is the kind of thing I’m looking for. Thanks
What are you using to view gemini sites?
That’s probably not going to work well for me as I don’t have an iPhone.
How do you like it?
There’s an Android version of LaGrange, I don’t know if it’s on FDroid or if you just have to get the apk from github since the Android version is still in development but that’s what I use for Gemini on Android with no complaints.
It works well. I imagine browsers on other platforms are similar, Gemini doesn’t offer a bunch of bells and whistles anyway
Larange, on Linux.
I use elpher on Emacs.
Lagrange on Windows and Android
Castor is a nice Browser for this
First time i hear of Gemini, seeing Gopher regenerated was something i never anticipated…
