How did you discover the gemini project?
For me it was browsing neocities sites and finding the yesterweb webring which lead me to gemini://cities.yesterweb.org

I saw some youtube videos about it last year from some popular linux/FOSS influencers like DT, mentaloutlaw, and chris were · 5 months ago
On Monday I stumbled across a tilde.club page in the wild and, like scientiac, found James Tomasino's video about the Tildeverse. His "What is Gemini?" video played next. By Wednesday I had my own Gemini server running. · 5 months ago
I discovered it through comp.infosystems.gemini on usenet. I think I found out because this was one of the most recent additions to newsgroups and I got curious about it. · 5 months ago
via DT on YouTube, then came into it via Tildeverse following James Tomasino's Video · 5 months ago
I discovered it through Drew Devault's blog and multiple YouTube channels · 5 months ago
A friend said I should take a look at Gemini. Then I saw a post from CCC Freiburg. Now quite convinced by the Gemini community. · 5 months ago
I think I found the webpage for Lagrange directly, actually. · 5 months ago
I heard about it the other year after attempting to find alternate protocols, but had only heard small bits and pieces in passing. Instead I dived into stuff like freenet and i2p for a bit til i got bored of em and decided to give gemini a shot after listening to the yesterweb podcast ep bout it and diving in via cities.yesterweb.org early this year in April/May. Never looked back since. · 5 months ago
As you can probably guess pretty easily I came in the same way. I decided to stay since geminispace is really chill but still has people makinging some very interesting things. · 5 months ago
Although I did hear about gemini just recently, I used to use gopher back in the early 90's before www access was supported by my ISP. It's a very nostalgic experience for me. :) · 5 months ago
I learned about it on Drew DeVault's blog but was not interested enough to check it until I heard about it a few more times from different sources. · 5 months ago
Browsing wikipedia. · 5 months ago
don't precisely recall, but I think I saw something about it on Mastodon · 5 months ago
I discovered Gopher after leaving social media in 2020 and searching for simpler, decentralized Internet spaces, which led me to SDF. Someone there mentioned Gemini in one of their phlogs, which led me here. · 5 months ago
I saw something about Gopher in one thread on Torum (social media for cryptocurrency weirdos). I'm learning about RESTful, so I was naturally tempted to learn more about different protocols than HTTP. So far I love how text-centered Gemini capsules are · 5 months ago
I read about it in 2600 magazine! Definitely glad that I did, I prefer the interface to html browsing by far. · 5 months ago
A cool person at Vintage Computer Festival Midwest taught me the secret handshake to get in here :) · 5 months ago
There was a lot of talk about it on the fediverse and videos being made about it a while back. One of the big things that drew me in was how easy it looked to set up a server and update it. · 5 months ago
An acquaintance pointed me here after they saw my website was pure HTML · 5 months ago
Saw it mentioned a number of times on hacker news, and at some point I got curious enough (and frustrated enough with the html web) to check it out. · 5 months ago
i'm in the yesterweb discord and someone had mentioned it there, then eventually yestercities got made and here i am ^-^ · 5 months ago
