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.

I also have my own gopher site:

Great post, 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.
Lagrange on Windows and Android
I use elpher on Emacs.
Castor is a nice Browser for this
Check these out as a starting point - gemini://smol.chorebuster.net/links-for-people-new-to-gemini.gmi
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
First time i hear of Gemini, seeing Gopher regenerated was something i never anticipated…
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. 😆
I’d like to see your site :)
It’s lionir.ca! It does both Gemini and HTTP
