@marginalia Good post on discoverability. I've been doing this on Gemini gemini://gemini.susa.net/cgi-bin/links_stu.lua using a frictionless Firefox extension I wrote https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/send-tab-url/ It was (as usual) a proof of concept, it works and it's non-intrusive.

@maria I think link rot is mainly a problem with deep links, you can get rid of most of the problems with that by just linking to index pages. The maintenance cost is also why I suggest a federated approach, if we all link to what we like, it doesn't have to be an overbearing task to keep the links fresh. · 2 years ago
@marginalia could it be that links to outside your own controlled space requires maintenance? · 2 years ago
Huh, that's pretty neat. I think overall gemini is marginally better at linking than the big web, but links outside the own capsule are still curiously rare. · 2 years ago
