I've been curious about exploring other non-HTTP minimalist internet protocols such as Gopher or Gemini, but frankly I don't know where to begin. Are there any good tutorials out there for folks looking to get started, or can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I haven’t had a chance to check this out yet, but worth a look. https://gopher.floodgap.com/overbite/

I’m more interested in using these protocols on some vintage tech, but this might be a quick way to get started.

Mental Outlaw and DistroTube (both on YouTube/Odysee) have some decent videos on each.
