Specifically check out tilde.town, it’s really cool. For more general information about the tildeverse, go to tildeverse.org
Tildeverse.org seems like it got a Lemmy hug if death. I can’t access it anyways.
It’s back up now
Gopher. Now that’s a long time since I heard that name.
Reminds me of sdf.org.
I’m loving the lore of the “tildeverse”, check out https://cosmic.voyage/ starting with the log entries. Feels like Futurama meets Unix Surrealism.
Interesting. Please click the link, it worth your time
I’m sure absolutely nobody will confuse this with Tildes.
Too late, I already did.
Same. Assumed tildes from just the title.
Seems like they haven’t gained traction since the reddit exodus. I wonder how the other alternatives are doing. Lemmy has a decent amount of activity at least, although I still wish more people would use it.
Unfortunately, it was originally seeded with people from the meta mod community in Reddit and so they brought all that with them.
Some discussions are awesome, but anything remotely controversial is a pure echo chamber and you’ll get shouted down if you dissent.
This is literally the first time I’ve heard it being mentioned since the exodus
Well, TIL

You mean it’s not?
The resurgence of a lot of pre-web protocols is interesting, but I’m not entirely sure it’s going to be a sticky thing beyond a novelty.
Also 100% agree with the first comment that on an article about the small web half the content is YouTube videos being hilariously tone-deaf ironic. If only there were some other method of sharing videos with people. Perhaps some sort of tube that’s peer-to-peer? A PeerTube, if you will.
They have videos on peertube if I recall.
If only there was a way to communicate without videos. The Mesopotamians had something like that but the technology was unfortunately lost.
While I hate the videofication of everything as much as the next person. Looking at a regular website these days is even worse than YouTube with ads… Cookies bro? You want to subscribe? Can we send you browser messages?? Here are 10 ads that move the text around that you were just reading…
The art of storytelling existed long before writing.
On a related note, I host the Guardian to gopherspace here: gopher://theunixzoo.co.uk/1/the-guardian
If one’s interest isn’t in learning about Linux, host anything, do storytelling, run a radio station, or play Minecraft, there’s pretty much nothing to do there. 🤷♂
You just mentioned what really is available nowadays. If you could mention an example of a “web interest” that’s not covered, perhaps someone could start it on the tildeverse…
Here’s my old homepage hosted on a tilde on the Gemini protocol

Here’s my new homepage hosted on a different tilde I just got up and running yesterday since the old tilde maintainer stopped communication a few months ago
https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/envs.net/~smokey/
The new one is bare bones right now I will work on moving over some of the better logs and articles. I talk about it more in the log I wrote up last night
