Can anyone suggest a free capsule service? I tried to make one on... uh... I forget. And I got caught up in the process, unable to update my home page or successfully use Titan in Lagrange. So I gave up.
Any pointers on a free gemini host that's working these days? Thanks.

A few points.
Free hosts are few and shrinking in number.
Most, with the exception of yesterweb, can't do inband registration. This is strange since Gemini has TLS, which yesterweb uses for account security. It seems most hosts haven't home brewed a Gemini solution, and have tacked user registration onto already existing solutions. Which is not surprising.
I'm just going to use station.martinrue.com for my Gemini commentary. It works, it's free, and I have a user page for what it's worth.
Thanks for your replies. · 1 year ago

gemini://rawtext.club/sign-up.gmi Requires email to sign up. Yeah, I don't have one.
gemini://sdf.org/ According to [gemini://republic.circumlunar.space/users/johngodlee/posts/2019-11-20-gopher.gmi], requires a $3 donation which isn't bad, but I don't use credit cards online.
https://smol.pub/register Requires HTTPS registration, and an email to request a free registration key.

Some observations:
gemini://cities.yesterweb.org I tried this one, and the registration worked, but I couldn't figure out Titan. None of the others work, or they require out of band technologies (HTTPS, email).
gemini://flounder.online/ Couldn't figure out how to join.
gemini://g.jae.moe/ Connection refused.
gemini://rawnix.org/ Connection refused.
gemini://heathens.club/services.gmi Turned off account registration due to prevent abuse.
gemini://park-city.club/ Free accounts only for members.
gemini://picasoft.net/ French language only.
gemini://pollux.casa/ Closed to new accounts. May be shutting down soon. · 1 year ago

Thanks everyone. I'll check out the links provided and report what happens. · 1 year ago
An I use one that is based on sftp uploads (pollux.casa) · 1 year ago
This is a nice list gemini://medusae.space/index.gmi?65. I currently use my own server and a few small pages using local files (pubnix) and I use one which is webbased (midnight.pub) · 1 year ago

it depends on how youd like to go about it. gemini://cities.yesterweb.org uses the titan protocol (which i personally gave up on cause it made me kind of crazy tbh). https://gemlog.blue lets you host on gemini but upload on the web. If you're more into classic ssh i recommend checking out gemini://tildeverse.org or gemini://sdf.org etc etc, theres Lots out there · 1 year ago
