Hello geminauts! First time poster here. I recognize some familiar names here and I try to keep up with the list when I can, but there's usually too much going on here (not a bad problem to have). First, I'd like to announce that I've set up user hosting on tilde.team with gemserv out of ~/public_gemini[0]. I'm looking forward to seeing more user content! I've also set up a homepage for the tildeverse[1]. If you've been on irc, you've probably heard about my troubleshooting on getting gemserv up and running! Now some notes about tildegit.org, where some notable projects are hosted: - registration on tildegit is whitelisted to tilde email addresses (namely from tildeverse members and known pubnixes). feel free to contact me (email is fine, irc is preferred) if you don't have a tilde email address and I'd be happy to set up an account for you. Otherwise, you might consider signing up for a tilde account! :) - gitea, the software that powers tildegit.org, does not support incoming email (i know, it's unfortunate), and I've been receiving plenty of mails of people replying to issues/PRs that end up in my inbox and not on the issue as you might expect. there's an existing issue for incoming mail for gitea, but it hasn't seen much traction. [2] Cheers, ~ben [0]: gemini://tilde.team [1]: gemini://tildeverse.org [2]: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/2386

The broad support for Gemini coming out of the tilde/pubnix scene makes me really happy. > - registration on tildegit is whitelisted to tilde email addresses (namely > from tildeverse members and known pubnixes). feel free to contact me (email > is fine, irc is preferred) if you don't have a tilde email address and I'd > be happy to set up an account for you.

I've heard a few people mention not being able to register an account, but couldn't see why not with a quick check. Was it always like this (I guess I wouldn't have noticed, using an @sdf.org address), or was this done in response to abuse problems? I get that tildegit is intended to serve the tildeverse so in some ways this restriction makes perfect sense. It's kind of a shame, though, for "outsiders" to not be able to open issues, make pull requests, etc. :( Cheers, Solderpunk

I set up the whitelist to combat a large number of automated accounts being created. It was several dozen automated spam accounts per week, which was a pain to deal with! I've added @sdf.org to the whitelist and I'm happy to create accounts for people as needed as I mentioned above. > I get that tildegit is intended to serve the tildeverse so in some ways > this restriction makes perfect sense.
