In-reply-to » @prologic @movq my setup is pretty old-school tw.txt hosting-wise. just a text file and a very simple static bridge for pikkulog-style subscribers on gemini. i do try to keep up on the twtxt format spec so i'm publishing a modern and well-formed feed. my dual-hosted website/gemcapsule is meant to eventually be entirely bespoke (my friend wrote the gemini server i'm using, so that counts enough for now) and i'd like to eventually support some of the server extensions that yarn has piloted. follow-wise, rn i kinda just manually try to pick up on who is following me by browsing random feeds. my custom clients usually do a FoaF crawl, but i don't have anything that really works running rn.

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Ah, thanks for reporting back! Okay, so you’re basically manually “crawling” feeds right now. 🤔 What do you think about the idea of adding something like # follow_notify = gemini://foo/bar to your feed’s metadata, so that clients who follow you can ping that URL every now and then? How would you even notice that, do you regularly read your gemini logs? 🤔
