Summary: As of this year in Geminispace, [news|gemini].tuxmachines.org is ranked highly, in relative terms, by whatever superficial ranks exist (like number of pages); but traffic-wise we also see indication of the namespace gaining traction (some days unique IPs were as high as 300 and that was not temporary); Gemini is accessed using Gemini clients but in our case it is even accessed via an http/s proxy (this went up by a lot, with around 3,000 accesses via the proxy per day)

WE are gratified to say that nowadays we have days in which hundreds of people access our Gemini capsule (sometimes more than 500 unique IP addresses per day) and the sister site, Tux Machines, sees the same in its Gemini capsule. Geminispace is growing, the userbase too is expanding.

As shown on the right, both capsules now have 10,000+ pages in them^*. Lupa stops adding any more when it reaches 10,000.

The video above speaks about the nature of Geminispace. For instance, just like on the World Wide Web, one can expect some domains to be just a single page or a few singular (or static) pages, whereas others can have millions of pages, so thousands of active capsules can be deceiving as a yardstick. What's really important is the growth in activity, including new pages and users. The puzzling arrays of Web "standards" can be conflated with "progress" but they should be abandoned over time; as we'll show soon (another video), Google is already strapping yet more DRM onto the Web and there's nothing "open" about it anymore. In fact, you have to use proprietary software to access some of it. ⬆ _____ ^* Techrights has almost 50,000 pages in Gemini.
