Re: "Deep Space Network (DSN) Antenna"
Thank you! I love Antenna, but I think that decentralizing is good, and Antenna was becoming too central to (at least) my view of Gemini. Noobs may think that it is Gemini!
I think if you let it run free after minor shepherding it will naturaly become a less-tech or tech-free zone...

Thanks all, I appreciate the inputs
I was thinking that one solution would be if the static site generators out there could separate logs based on a topic. So for instance if you tag your gemlog "technical" it would put it in the technical gemlog page and so forth.
@solderpunk I like your idea of filtering...I may look into this. I also thought about a per-post aggregators but this could be cumbersome for the authors especially if you have scripts already setup.

Adoption is going to be slow and that's totally fine and expected. I'm hoping that this turns into an Antenna network where we have numbers and link to one another, say like "DSN 1965" or similar. Time will tell.
So I have a gemlog that does not separate between tech and non-tech posts... I don't see how I can submit only non-tech posts to you! If I skip submissions on tech days, next day's submission will force the tech post into yesterday's entries...
Auto-filtering by title may work, but I wonder if there is a way to have the users tag their posts... Or submit an actual URL of a post instead of index...
@stack yeah, I've been thinking about this. I don't expect everyone to do the same, but I just created a separate gemlog page for my technical entries. I also considered tags, but that would require a lot of parsing for every submission.
I'll have to think about this
For anyone looking to get Antenna set up themselves:
gemini://gemini.smallweb.space/tech-gemlog/20230725-setting-up-antenna.gmi
+1 to just having the sites do the filtering. Maybe a dsn feed url instead of the full one.
There seems to be a bug! I just submitted today's entry, and it picked up older entries yet again, doubling up. I think that today I submitted `.../gemlog` while yesterday, `.../gemlog/index.gmi` and it registered it as a different feed.
@stack Ah, I see that. I wonder if the main site does this too.
Wonder no more - the main site does it too. So resolving aliases is not something Antenna does... To do so would require maybe keeping a hash of each ingested index page, and ignoring duplicate submissions, even if they come from a different URL... Or check the actual links (in the generated page) for duplicates.

Deep Space Network (DSN) Antenna — As per a suggestion by @solderpunk, I've rebranded my clone of Antenna to be Deep Space Network (DSN) Antenna, so as not to compete with the main site. In addition, the theme of the site is non-technical: deep thoughts for the deep space. I know that keeping technical posts off there will be challenging especially if you have 2 gemlogs back-to-back that are of both categories, but in...
