FOSS Advent Calendar - Door 3: Exploring Gemini with Amfora

Gemini is a lightweight, privacy-friendly alternative to the web! A place where content is simple, text-focused, and completely tracker-free.
It uses its own protocol (gemini://) and a minimalist page format called GMI, which is very close to Markdown: just headings, links, lists, and plain text. No JavaScript, no cookies, no ads... just clean information.

To browse Gemini, you need a Gemini client.
One of the most popular terminal clients is Amfora. It brings the whole Geminispace into your terminal with a clean UI, keyboard navigation, and zero distractions. Perfect for reading blogs, tech posts, small communities, and even news (yes, the German newspaper taz has a Gemini capsule!).

Gemini is the perfect reminder that the internet can be simple, fast, and human-sized again.
