Welcome to geminispace! Unfortunately my Spanish isn't too good but
maybe reading more Spanish gemini content will help me learn better!

Well, you never know. My first "real" English book was a Fighting Fantasygamebook. A language is a game and you never really "learn" it, you playit.

* As for file extensions, I'm using .gemini but I see many people
prefering .gmi Should I change to .gmi? Are there any rules I'm not
aware of?
I don't think it matters. .gemini seems to be falling out of
popularity, but everything I've come across understands it so it's fine
I'd say. Looking at your server, your most recent post with a .gmi
extension (gemini://enteka.xyz/sonriePalea.gmi) is sent with a mime type
of text/plain, so I actually think your server doesn't recognize the
.gmi extension.

Yep, I think you are right. Renamed it to .gemini and it's now displayingproperly.

* Is there a Gemini-aware feed format?
There is! It's a “companion specification,” see this page:
gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/companion/subscription.gmi
Looking at your site, your homepage is already compatible with gemini
feeds, so you're all set on that front.

Thank you, Alex, I'm sticking to the Gemini comanion specification then. It might be less popular, but I do feel it makes more sense for Gemini.
