Only tech on Gemini? Think again!

Next time somebody tells you that there's only tech content on Gemini, you can link them to this list to show them that this isn't true! Geminispace is bursting with excellent, really well written long form content on more things than you can shake a stick at.

There are no two posts from the same author linked below, and I've tried to avoid featuring any one Gemini host too heavily as well, just to make it clear that this content isn't coming a minority of small corners, it's everywhere. This isn't a list of my personal favourite things in Geminispace, and it isn't a list of my presonal favourite authors, either. It's not even the case that I think everything linked to from here is the best work of the person who wrote it, although all of it is, in my opinion, really good work. Instead, I've tried to assemble as broad a range of content as I possibly can, to reveal just how untrue it is that Geminauts do nothing but talk tech. You'll find creative content, personal content, instructional content, political content, all sorts. Frivolous content, serious content, poignant content, the works.

If I've linked to something of yours below and you wish I hadn't, shoot me an email and I'll take it down.

Thank you to everybody writing in Geminispace for making it what it is! ❤️
