I haven't been as active in exploring geminispace as I've wanted to be (for some months now, bleh), but I can offer a capsule (a bbs, really) for a starting point --
gemini://bbs.geminispace.org/ <- what it says on the tin, a BBS run by skyjake, who makes the Lagrange gemini browser (Lagrange is also very nice)
Do you have access to geminispace sorted? If not, I'd recommend Lagrange, though there's also in-web-browser emulators and there should be one at mozz.us (as well as, iirc, a gemini faq and the like)
Thank you! I went to the bbs and saw your post there lol. Yeah, it concerns me too that gemini doesn't seem to have critical mass (maybe not until it gets a mature mobile client). I love how text-centric it is -- I think it would be a good spot for a personal blog or a serialized novel or some such.
I'm not worried about "critical mass", though? Just my own ability (or not) to keep up with things I want to keep up with. Geminispace has been on the go since 2019 and the protocol itself isn't completed for standardization yet iirc.

I didn't find any recently updated gemini clients on F-droid. I may have missed Lagrange being available on mobile
