Re: "Esteemed Bubble residents"
One thought coming to mind is "soft" versioning posts by creating posts subsequent to a first such that they have the same title, but with one's desired versioning string appended to the end.
So in the above case, the name of the first version of the post was:
Favorite quotes
The name of updated versions of that post might be:
Favorite quotes (v2) Favorite quotes (v3)
etc.
That's pleasantly simple, and I think it would be fairly obvious what was going on to most Gemini-grade readers.

The All Posts feed is intentionally sorted by post creation time to prevent old posts from obscuring the view.
Your edit could be accompanied by a comment detailing what was changed. Commenting on a post will bump it up in the "Sort by Hotness" view, usually to the top for a while, so people who sort by Hotness will notice the edit.
People who are interested in a post can use the "Follow post" feature and will get a notification when anyone comments on the post. Editing a post currently causes no notifications, although it probably should. So perhaps not very relevant in this use case.
Another tip: you can use Antenna to publish gemlog entry updates. Just add a new entry in your gemlog with the old URL, but with an updated date and title. (Of course, this assumes you have a manually created gemlog index somewhere.)
In Bubble userspaces, you can publish the whole gemlog feed or individual posts to Antenna. There's an action for this at the bottom of the post/feed. I haven't tested what happens if you try republishing a post with a different title...

I'm not seeing such an action, but maybe I'm not grasping what you mean by "at the bottom of the post/feed"...?
What does the "action" look like? Is it a button? A link? What name/verbiage should I be looking for?
Oopsies, I had accidentally disabled all the Antenna actions for everyone. They are back now. Look for this in the Actions section of a post:
Submit post to 📡 Antenna
You should see a similar link at the bottom of

@skyjake Thanks! Just one more question. Does submitting the feed mean "up through its current set of posts" and then one need do that again at some point, or does it imply future posts in the feed are automatically submitted?
The first one. There are no automated submissions to Antenna.
You can add your Gemini or Atom feed into an aggregator like CAPCOM, though, to get continual fetching of the feed.
Esteemed Bubble residents — I'd like some thoughts on a specific Bubble use case, namely wanting to update a past post that's mostly a list of things. For example, I recently added this line: - The Zeroeth Commandment: Thou shalt not inconvenience. to: [gemini link] Favorite quotes because that's where it belonged from an information point of view. But then I started thinking I'd like others here to actually see it, but starting feeling that devoting a gemlog post to content like this: [...
