This is Miguel de Luis, hailing from Canary Islands, Spain and this is my little gemini capsule gemini://enteka.xyz which uses the Glasgow-php server. Mostly because php was already installed in the server and it worked nicely. My content is mostly in Spanish, though and it's still a very humble thing, but I hope to be a little bleep in the Gemini space, at least. ## Questions:

Unfortunately my Spanish isn't too good but maybe reading more Spanish gemini content will help me learn better! > * As for file extensions, I'm using .gemini but I see many people > prefering .gmi Should I change to .gmi?

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. > * Do Gemini capsules use the same Atom feed format as other.

You'll get a validation error for atom, I just ignored it as the rest of my feed was fine. If an aggregator can access content on gemini it knows about the gemini protocol and isn't relying on a hardcoded list of registered schemes. I know there's plans to get the gemini scheme (the "gemini:" part at the beginning of URLs) registered with the IANA, but nothing has happened so far. > * 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. ~nytpu -- Alex // nytpu alex at nytpu.com GPG Key: https://www.nytpu.com/files/pubkey.asc Key fingerprint: 43A5 890C EE85 EA1F 8C88 9492 ECCD C07B 337B 8F5B https://useplaintext.email/

My first "real" English book was a Fighting Fantasy gamebook.

Yep, I think you are right. Renamed it to .gemini and it's now displaying properly. > > > * Is there a Gemini-aware feed format? > There is!

It might be less popular, but I do feel it makes more sense for Gemini.

Are there any rules I'm not aware of? When I first started using Markdown, I was a diehard fan of using the full extension, .markdown. .md seemed like a stupid hack that was good only for long-dead Windows 3.1 computers. Then I started seeing lots of my own .markdown files in a length-constrained view (probably the Visual Studio Code sidebar) and thought ??.markdown? takes up a half to a third of the space in this view, but it doesn?t tell me anything more about the file than .md would. If I renamed all these files to .md, I?d get much better information density and less noise.? I use .md now. All this happened before I got into Gemini, so I started off with .gmi and only briefly considered using the full extension.
