Re: "About the Domain "Geminispace.org""
I think "bbs" would work fine either way. I partly chose the name "Bubble" because it's a bulletin board system and the word has a "BB" in it. (The other part being the speech bubble.)
Keeping the subspaces term, it could also mean "BuBble Subspaces". Or just "Bubble Bulletin boardS".

I vote for "bbl"

@morgan @jeang3nie If you check the blurb at the top of the Bubble subspace you’ll see it described as a bulletin board system. Which I think is cool, because they are way better than (anti) ‘social media’
As long as it's geminispace.org, subspace is quite fitting.
And if gs.org's content is moved to a subdomain, what is going to be displayed on "geminispace.org/"? It cannot be anything about Bubble, because bubble.<tld> would be more fitting for that.
I don't think a subdomain removes much of the potential geminispace.org confusion.
@michaelnordmeyer for now, the root domain could redirect. Personally, I think a subdomain removes the confusion almost entirely. It's not a super necessary change, but I don't really see a drawback.
I'd like to say that I reserved geminispace.club till 2024... I am not even using it since we moved on pebcak.club... geminspace.club is the sibling of the geminispace.org... And honestly I like it more... Would it be ever possible to transfer a domain to another person? 🤷

@freezr it is easy to transfer a domain to another person
geminispace should be registered for every tld

I completely agree with the concept of this capsule. Don't care about the naysayers. Station also existed, and many people used it. There's no reason we can't have different forms of social organization on Gemini.
As for discoverability, one thing that I wish solderpunk would consider is putting more than just Capcom on the project gemini page so that people have a jumping off place. Put like some centers of information, and search engines (GUS used to be linked there, but it was apparently removed).
However, I suppose the remedy could instead be that Gemini browsers need to make sure to put links to centers of organization/information and search engines on their intro pages.

There was a recent update to the site. All the community links were moved to the FAQ:
It was also greatly expanded with links to all kinds of new places.
@skyjake Oh, interesting! I didn't check the FAQ! Hm... I don't like that, lmao.
@skyjake Ok, so I checked it out. There's like 2 levels of indirection just to get to that stuff, but I guess it's fine.

About the Domain "Geminispace.org" — I have encountered a few complaints that the domain name of this site, Geminispace.org, is problematic because it can be somewhat ambiguous and misleading: it may be unclear whether one means just this capsule or Geminispace as a whole — a collection of Gemini capsules and the people who maintain them. One might react to this...
