Found a reply to my "where's the energy" post via COSMOS: gemini://jsreed5.org/log/2022/202201/20220111-acclimating-new-gemini-users.gmi First of all, I'm not really lamenting the lack of speed. Being new and obscure, Gemini is going to be slow. I get that. If I'm lamenting anything, is a lack of certain sort of ambition. At least it's still growing, but it seems like more is possible. Second, let's not undersell Gemini. It can be way more than slow-paced document retrieval. It's a very promising protocol for a whole swath of new and replacement community infrastructure. That big vision of a Gemini that goes 100x or more beyond Gopher is worth focus, and if missing, lamentation.

Did I miss the boat on the gemini fad? It seems really slow everywhere. Where's the good energy?

I wrote something. Unfortunately it's not on Gemini: https://palladiummag.com/2022/01/06/quit-your-job/

Does anyone know of a good resource for getting started with the Titan protocol (upload protocol for Gemini). Suppose I'm using go-gemini for a server. How would I accept a titan upload?

Gemini needs more content to be somewhere you can actually hang out full time. One thing that would be very valuable is a web to gemini proxy service. Looks like there is one, but I don't see any reference to an actually deployed public instance. https://github.com/peter-marshall5/web-to-gemini

This is really neat. A twitter clone somehow shoehorned onto gemini, with ascii art profile pictures. This can only get better with time. Will it federate?

I have arrived on the "station"
