- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ``` Ahoy, Gemininauts! It's great seeing the steady stream of new Gemini software and newGemini servers being announced. I encourage people to keep sendingthese to the list, to keep the community informed and to have a visibleindication of growth/activity. I would encourage people to use the [ANN] subject-prefix for these"announcement" type posts, so that people who want to can filter themout from "actual discussion", just to make the list a bit easier tofollow. I'm personally going to stop replying to those posts saying "Thanks,I've added this to the list", just because it's taking a non-trivialamount of time for me to do it and because I imagine it's just fillingeverybody's inbox up with low-value emails. So, please take it forgranted that I'll be following these announcements and adding them tothe relevant lists. If you see that I've failed to do so after, say,3 days from your initial post, feel free to email me a reminderoff-list. Finally, regarding the list of known-servers: there is now a similarlist at GUS (gemini://gus.guru/known-hosts) which is automaticallygenerated based on the crawler's explorations, and which you canmanually submit your server's URL to. This list is basically guaranteedto be a more reliable source of this information in the long term thanthe list at gemini.circumlunar.space, which is updated manually by me. Because there's a more reliable automated alternative and becauseupdating the list is taking me time that could otherwise be spenthacking on Gemini or writing Gemini content, I've decided that once thatlist hits 50 servers I will stop updating it. So effectively it willbecome a list of the first 50 Gemini servers, which will be a nicelittle historical document to have around. We're already getting to thepoint where's it not a quick and easy thing to manually check out everyserver in existence, and it makes a lot more sense to use search to findstuff you're actually interested in. So, in addition to making announcement posts here, please be sure toalso submit your server to GUS via the easy-to-find links at gus.guru. I will still maintain the software list manually without limit for now,because software is much harder to automatically detect than serversare. Cheers,Solderpunk
