Ahoy, Gemininauts! It's great seeing the steady stream of new Gemini software and new Gemini servers being announced. I encourage people to keep sending these to the list, to keep the community informed and to have a visible indication of growth/activity. I would encourage people to use the [ANN] subject-prefix for these "announcement" type posts, so that people who want to can filter them out from "actual discussion", just to make the list a bit easier to follow. I'm personally going to stop replying to those posts saying "Thanks, I've added this to the list", just because it's taking a non-trivial amount of time for me to do it and because I imagine it's just filling everybody's inbox up with low-value emails. So, please take it for granted that I'll be following these announcements and adding them to the relevant lists. If you see that I've failed to do so after, say, 3 days from your initial post, feel free to email me a reminder off-list. Finally, regarding the list of known-servers: there is now a similar list at GUS (gemini://gus.guru/known-hosts) which is automatically generated based on the crawler's explorations, and which you can manually submit your server's URL to. This list is basically guaranteed to be a more reliable source of this information in the long term than the list at gemini.circumlunar.space, which is updated manually by me. Because there's a more reliable automated alternative and because updating the list is taking me time that could otherwise be spent hacking on Gemini or writing Gemini content, I've decided that once that list hits 50 servers I will stop updating it. So effectively it will become a list of the first 50 Gemini servers, which will be a nice little historical document to have around. We're already getting to the point where's it not a quick and easy thing to manually check out every server in existence, and it makes a lot more sense to use search to find stuff you're actually interested in. So, in addition to making announcement posts here, please be sure to also submit your server to GUS via the easy-to-find links at gus.guru. I will still maintain the software list manually without limit for now, because software is much harder to automatically detect than servers are. Cheers, Solderpunk
