Hi Leo,
yes, you do indeed need a special application for accessing the gemini links. There are quite a few options available, ranging from command line clients to fully-fledged graphical ones.[1] As for the command line clients, at least two are installed on tilde.club: bollux and amfora. So the simplest option might be to just ssh into tilde.club and then invoke
amfora gemini://tilde.club/or alternatively
bollux gemini://tilde.club/Since these clients are primarily gemini clients (although bollux also includes gopher support), you can even leave out the scheme and just invoke
amfora tilde.clubAlso note that, since ~deepend already copied the updated version over to the server root (thanks ~deepend!) I replaced the version beneath my home directory with a redirect. To have a look at the redesigned index page I mentioned in my previous email, simply refer to gemini://tilde.club/ as proposed above; or, if you want to have a look at the actual files, take a look at /var/gemini/ on the tilde.club filesystem.
Best
Frank
PS: For a more technical and less practical introduction to gemini, you might also want to have a look at either gemini://geminiprotocol.net/ or https://geminiprotocol.net/.
Frank,
I just want to commend you on your email formatting. Your obvious forethought makes reading plain text a joy. Color me inspired!
