Summary: Gemini space (or Geminispace) is growing fast and becoming rather big, with thousands of unique domains or capsules, so RSS-like tooling will become imperative to keep abreast of important ones

THE platform known as Geminispace is still expanding. "There are 2157 capsules. We successfully connected recently to 1760 of them," according to Lupa's latest statistics. It's growing at a pace of about 5 per day with a net gain of 4 per day. So how do we keep track of many capsules of interest, given that it's no longer a small clique or a niche with dozens of capsules? The answer is syndication, but there's no single client and no such standards associated with Gemini Protocol (not for syndication anyway).

"So how do we keep track of many capsules of interest, given that it's no longer a small clique or a niche with dozens of capsules?"In the video above I try to give a quick outline with practical examples. We start with this list of known feeds in Gemini space (Geminispace) and then show how different popular (both command line- and GUI-based) Gemini clients handle them. Later I show how we do this in Techrights and explain work we're doing at the moment behind the scenes. There are several ways to syndicate "content" in Geminispace and no unified or standardised way (yet) for accomplishing it. ⬆
