Hi all. Anyone reads news on Gemini?
I'm the maintainer of gemini://tlgs.one/ . I'm thinking if I should enable indexing news proxies. Currently it's disabled because GUS also disables them. I think I have optimized the search engine enough to handle it. But I don't want to waste resources if no one uses them.

I did read NPR articles through sloum's Geminews service¹ for a bit, but now I download and read them with my jailbroken Kindle.

@xandra Resource wise it's ok. Maybe adding about an hour to index update. My concern is like @kevinsan said. Index polution. And just waisting disk space if no one uses it.
As of *using* Gemini. I use station as a place to share ideas with intellects. And general browsing when I'm on long distance train/bus (low bandwidth). · 2 years ago
if you don't mind me asking, would it take much resources? i'm just wondering if there *are* folks who are figuring out how to use gemini (as it is growing quickly) who might use it? but that's a theoretical, of course~ · 2 years ago
You could make it a search option! · 2 years ago
Thanks - I just learned of tlgs! If you're indexing geminispace and getting good results, then there's a risk that mainstream news articles (which I assume you mean) will pollute your index. I read news headlines, but I very rarely search for news articles. · 2 years ago
