@benk And if you're not sure how to "reply" to this Yarn, just preserve the "Subject" you see in parens at th start. That's it 👌 Read about the extensions here

@benk Ah, look at that. Lots of twtxt users in Gemini space. 🤯 Does that mean I should extend my client? It doesn’t speak gemini:// at the moment. 😢

@movq do you think it will be up to Gemini to bring twtxt/Yarn out of its relative obscurity? If that is the case I think I will start betting on something else. 😂
@fastidious Nah, probably not. But if there’s interesting stuff over there, then I’d like to see it. That’s all. 😊

@movq I think Gemini has a decent size by now, and twtxt is something there... I arrived to twtxt (the format) through some users on Gemini, and lately to Yarn/twtxt.net.
@eaplmx @benk Well, I guess I’ll investigate adding Gemini support. 🤔 I’m reading benk’s feed manually in lagrange at the moment. 😅

Too bad that Gemini – just like Gopher – has no concept of a “user agent”. So nobody will know when I’m following them.
It really is a bit annoying that twtxt uses this “hack”. There are other similar hacks that work regardless of the protocol, like just doing a dummy request such as gemini://kwiecien.us/twtxt.txt:movq:$my_feed_url or something. Yes, that will result in an error, but, well, it would show up in a log, just like that user agent thingy …
(I don’t see a way to cleanly solve this without additional headers.)

FWIW, I implemented a simple Gemini client now. It doesn’t do TOFU yet and I’m not very motivated to implement support for client certs. How common are those in Gemini space?

@movq Not that much, I love the concept, but only a few sites/capsules use them since most of the content is read-only or publicly available.
@benk I might do just that. At least for the first version. 👌
