Tips and Tricks

Here are some useful recommendations to improve your Flounder & Gemini experience

Linking sites you like

While Flounder will link to everyone's site, it is only a small part of the Gemini space. If you find a Gemini site that you like, on or off flounder, make sure to link it on your page. This allows people to "browse" the Gemini network, much like on the old school web.

Feed aggregation

Provide a contact link

If you want people to be able to contact you or follow you on other social media, you may want to provide a link in your page. An email is especially helpful if you want people to provide feedback to any of your posts.

Favicons

When viewing flounder pages through a Gemini browser, you can have an emoji associated with your page, for example:

//admin.flounder.online/favicon.txt

Save a file with a single emoji character to favicon.txt to support this feature!

robots.txt

You can add a special file named robots.txt to your page. This will inform web-crawlers, for example, search engines, how to treat your page. It will not block them from crawling your page, but well behaved crawlers will respect it. For example, if you don't want your web page archived by Google, Internet Archive, or anyone else, add the following to your robots.txt:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /
