I found the idea compelling that Gemini clients would show the user, which external Gemini pages link to the current one. How should the client or the server know this? The idea was that clients send a referer when visiting a page via link, the server collects these and delivers the list of referers when requested by the client for the current page. Let's be glad for privacy reasons we do not send referers. Alternatively, a large central database like the gus.guru search engine provides the ability to search for these so-called backlinks.
Is there maybe something like webmentions?
