I believe Gemini (and Gopher etc.) are usually thought of as part of the smolweb.
I wouldn't be opposed to "Artisanal Web" though. 🙂
At Station I posted this link some months ago. a lot of different webs. maybe someone find it interesting. https://diagram.website/.

Yeah underweb is something I use often as opposed to the surface web, but not dark web. The smolweb is also comprise of small web crafted site, so what I was refering to is the web without the html part. I agree gemini is in the smolweb but there is this other part of the web, that is text only and reacheable trough a terminal, very low bandwith usage etc... @mimas2ac that quite the map! Thanks for sharing :D

I think instead of 'smallweb' should instead be adopted as 'smallnet' since web denotes any dealings with WWW, which is not the case. In tandem, I think 'smallnet' should extend to like what daruma illustrates but even further into the CLi and text-only or even those which require their own clients like gopher/gemini, like nostr, ipfs, etc as it seems that there are even intersections between the different levels of connectivity.
Othernet?

I like this differenciation between web (www) and net (other) food for thoughts...
ether.. net :) heheheh invisible, granular, older, minimal...
What are we? There is the clearnet or surface web, which is everything that is searchable in the www, html world. Then there is the deepweb, which is www html that is not searcheable, password protected forum, wall garden etc. Then there is the darkweb, in onion and Tor nodes. There is the smolweb, which is hand crafted, but still www,html based. What is the web that is ssh, gopher, gemini, mud, moo, nntp based? Protoweb is partly the answer, but Gemini is not proto, for instance. I feel...
