Gemini/Howto

To take part in Gemini you can browse and read existing resources in Geminispace with a Gemini client (browser) of your choice. Publish your own content by starting a capsule, your own presence in Geminispace.

Choosing a Gemini client

The Gemini client "Lagrange" is available for various operation systems and offers a well-known user interface paradigm. Various lists and reviews of clients are available, e. g. as of March 2021:

gemini://gemini.ctrl-c.club/~sario528/projects/clientlist.gmi

Publishing content

Some community members and so called tilde or pubnix spaces offer hosting content in Geminispace for others, for instance:

gemini://sdf.org
gemini://g.jae.moe/
gemini://koyu.space/
gemini://main-street.nightfall.city/real-estate/
gemini://pollux.casa/

Choose a Gemini server software and a suitable hosting method or provider to publish your content. Again, there are lists, e. g.

Content organisation

Within a capsule content can be freely organised; for recurring entries like those of a Gemlog, a convention is available, which some Gemini clients can subscribe to and notify users of new entries.
