I made the first (and still popular) "social network" 4 years ago. Still going strong. More info: https://martinrue.com/station https://martinrue.com/station

  it's this federated with anything?
  • martinrue 1y ago
    No, it's as simple as it sounds. I should think about that at some point.

      This is an interesting project. So the whole thing is hosted at gemini://station.martinrue.com, with no way to host other instances? Stuff like this that leverages the default TLS nature of gemini is pretty exciting. I'm going to have to set up an account later to check it out. Edit: Checked it out and this is definitely a cool idea. Is there any way to change the unicode emoji next to your name?

    https://github.com/dimkr/tootik https://github.com/dimkr/tootik is another Gemini social network that does federate over ActivityPub, and I've been thinking about developing a minimalist ActivityPub alternative (maybe using Gemini and Titan to replace HTTP GET and POST, respectively) that can coexist with ActivityPub support

      That’s brilliant, and exactly the sort of thing that could get me back into Gemini. Nice!
