Well it certainly doesn't appear that Mastodon actually does support #Gemini links, does it?
Oh well, that's okay, as Promised, here's a little video on the #Lagrange browser, hosted right here in our very own #Fediverse on #Peertube.

@Mastodon @Sujitech_official @lickability I seriously hope accessibility is a priority in the official app. We don't need another Reddit, where blind users *have* to download a third-party app just to use the service well.
That's https://Theta.TV by the way. And let's not discount the awesome power that PeerTube brings to social media and places all that sheer #federated and #decentalizing #disruption to the mix, now that data is dirt cheap - you can spin up your own, self-hosted #PeerTube instance on acceptable hardware for $5 USD per month that includes 20 #Terabytes of 1Gbps data!!!
Talk about a Google/YouTube killer!!!

Your boost of the post by @lbry is a #social_commentary on a very welcomed and encouraging smear by the NYT, friendly on how you prefer to look at things ;)
Remember when #Microsoft was the defender of the free world, stressing
Spreading #FUD and calling #Linux, "Satan"?
#LBRY isn't alone, there's a couple of other Google killers entering the market too...
Like #Theta, for example 🤘👹🤘

And finally, for those who just want to have their Gemini and orbit too, There's the Geminize plugin for #Firefox.
You can get #Geminize here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/geminize/
And for those of you who are #Emacs users (I'm a #Vim dude myself), my other fav Gemini and #Gopher browser is #Elpher, which you can get from #Melpa - anyone familiar with Emacs should know how to do that, but it's my fav non-GUI browser.
I hope that helps :)

Lagrange is cross-platform #FOSS, so it runs on Windows and #UNIX operating systems.
In the video, the creator fails to mention the #GUS search engine (There's also the #Houston search engine), which does a very fine job of indexing the great majority of #Gemini space.
You can get the #Lagrange browser here:

I hope that helps :)

Well I read recently that Rochko added Gemini link support in Mastodon.
Let's test that out shall we?

I spend most of my days in a #CLI environement, so when I'm browsing, I like stuffs to be pretty. Therefore, I'll f'up w/a video for what is arguably at this time, the prettiest (and most functional) GUI based browser for #Gemini protocol - the #Lagrange Gemini and #Gopher Browser

I haven't experienced any problems so to speak with #Manyverse, but then of course, I d/l'd it from F-Droid instead of the silo store..
But if onboarding was that difficult for me, then woe be to the schmoe looking for a turnkey solution.
Planetary still escapes me though - it's just SSB, right? Where is it?
I don't argue when folks opt for Signal, but if they don't already have my DID I don't give it to them, instead, recommending Matrix, which comes with it's own learning curve
