Should we give Gemini page subscriptions a proper name?

There is no offical name for the Gemini page subscription specification.

gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/companion/subscription.gmi

Some people call it gemsub or gmisub. I think it would be helpful, if the companion specification would mention a canonical name.

If you want more options, put them in the comments, and I will update the poll.

That is true. But isn't there functionality out there, which can subscribe to pages and monitors just the headings?

A Gemfeed could be the total of all YYYY-MM-DD links, depending on how you look at it.

I like "Gemfeed" because it's in line with "Gemtext".

For me the problem with nailing down the name is that these Gemini feed pages are not a format of their own. They are just regular .gmi pages with at least one Y-M-D link somewhere on the page. Thus it's "Subscribing to Gemini pages" and not "Subscribing to Gemini feeds".
