Re: "Has anyone built a Gemini Fediverse server?"

In: s/Fediverse

Could fetch the remote image and store locally, but I can see where that opens a new problem of serving and managing attachments that tootik doesn’t currently need to deal with.

On the other hand, profiles get cached by most servers and many like Mastodon/Pleroma/MissKey save the image to local cache for n days for their users, so the occasional remote image fetch probably is not such a hit in the grand Fediverse scheme.

Has anyone built a Gemini Fediverse server? — I just discovered Gemini today, and it is a fascinating approach to the Internet. One possibility that seems interesting is to build a Fediverse server with a Gemini front-end. It would have the following properties: Identity would be a Gemini certificate. The identity would be communicated in ActivePub as a hash/fingerprint of the public key. For example as @uyzwisfenxq3ydha@gemini.social Posts would be just Gemini input (10) requests with all the...
