How do you keep on top of new capsules in gemini space?
Feb 09 · 3 months ago
I used to be very proactive with this but have slipped into just checking the same bookmarks now. Smolzine is the best way I know of currently, but just curious if anyone has more suggestions.
Well I would like a better answer as well but I look at Antenna and usually most new things show up there eventually. I don't know! It would be cool if someone who's running a search engine kept a list of capsules recently indexed for the first time.
That's a nice idea, satch
@satch That does exist:
I check the hosts file diff whenever I update the trust stores repo. Example:
It shows new capsules (as indexed by geminispace.info and Lupa) as well as capsules that have gone down recently.
@mbays @nervuri I like the list of 50 most recent capsules. Very convenient, but I wish it was paginated to go back much further in time.
The diff file is an interesting one. It’s a little less accessible, but maybe I could get more than 50 results with the right command to check previous commits?
not necessarily new, but I randomly browse the user lists in the capsule hosts. I also use discogem. new to me.
@IO You can clone the repo and run, for example:
# hosts added in the last three commits git diff HEAD~3 hosts | grep ^+ # hosts removed in the last three commits git diff HEAD~3 hosts | grep ^-
I usually commit updates about once/week, although I skip a week every now and then.
Capsule isn't the same thing as host, though. To find new user capsules on pubnixes like rawtext.club or tilde.club, you would have to download their user list periodically and check the diff.
