Re: "How are you all doing this stuff?"
I made some really solid progress with jekyll-gemini and did a small self-host on oracle's free tier cloud services, using agate as my gemini server.
There's some stuff that while supported by jekyll isn't implemented in my Gemini layout files yet like listing posts by tag and collections, but it's enough to publish.
I'm dubiously trying to co-publish to web and gemini simultaneously, so there's some consideration I need to take when composing posts, but going gemini only works great.
I also really prefer static page generation. Serverside scripting just adds complexities that I don't want to manage. Really happy I was able to get this working with the system I already used

I do everything manually. I edit manually my feed pages, I upload manually my gmi files. I manually update my gemlog on Antenna.
Tools are MC (TUI dual panel file manager) to ssh into my VPS and Micro as editor. Since I my pace is slow handling the capsule manually is not a big deal...
wow there is just. so much help and passion and personal experience in these replies, thank you all <3 It would take me a month to answer everyone individually- but thank you all so much. (also hiii @starling yes we know each other )

fab that gemloh.sh is probably what I have been looking for. Thanks for sharing.

How are you all doing this stuff? — Your gemlogs and feed generators and all of that stuff, I mean. I want to be able to have stuff like "Write stuff that's on my mind, tag it with what the topic is, and it'll appear in a chronological page+feed of all my thoughts, and a seperate page+feed based on that topic". I want to just write some thoughts down and all the fiddly, repetitive stuff gets done for me, basically. I also have no clue where to start with hosting, I know very little about this...
