I had never seen this before. Although I am now trying out lagrange and seeing what it can do.

Sorry for hijacking the thread on what is a great post, but is gemini common these days? This is literally the first time I have ever seen it, and it seems fairly interesting, albeit deliberately limited.

Annoyingly the learn more about it link https://gemini.circumlunar.space/ is now dead, as possibly might be protocol.

Many HN users can’t seem to get past some minor issues about the spec. Despite this, it’s a working protocol that has a critical mass of real world users, mostly bloggers (which is what the spec author mostly had in mind). One of my blogs on Gemini has a “like” button and it gets several clicks a week, indicating that people are indeed reading my content in Gemspace.

The cert has expired, but the site is still there if you click through the warnings.

Edit: no it just redirects to https://geminiprotocol.net which seems to be the new official site
