Publish on the Gemini small web in minutes. No server knowledge required. Just sign up and write.
Pick a username. Your capsule will be at username.gemcities.com
on the Gemini network.
Use the web editor to write gemtext files. A live preview shows exactly how your capsule will look. Save your file. It's live instantly. No deploys, no configuration, no waiting.
Your capsule lives at gemini://username.gemcities.com
on the Gemini network. The Gemini protocol is separate from the web… you need a Gemini client to visit it.
Popular clients: Lagrange (desktop, polished UI), Amfora (terminal), and Elaho (iOS). A full list is at geminiprotocol.net/clients.html.
Once you have a client, paste your capsule URL and you're in Geminispace.
Gemcities is free, donation-supported hosting for the Gemini protocol, a small, quiet corner of the internet that strips away the noise of the modern web.
There are no ads, no analytics, no tracking, no paywalls, and no plans to add any. Every capsule gets 50 MB of storage, which is generous for gemtext files.
Think of it as Geocities for Gemini… simple publishing infrastructure, run ethically, kept simple on purpose.
There's a Gemini-native forum at gemini://forum.gemcities.com
where capsule authors can introduce themselves, share their work, ask questions, and talk.
The forum lives entirely inside Geminispace — no web interface, no accounts tied to this site. Open it in your Gemini client and register with a client certificate to post. Reading is open to anyone.
