Hey #AskFedi,

Where do you go to read positive/uplifting/optimistic stuff?

Can't be a subreddit or a page on a website that has otherwise doomscrolly stuff.

Religious stuff is fine. Sciencey stuff, too.

@rl_dane I usually go to the Neocities explore page and look at people's personal sites. Getting to know real people's microcosms helps ground and shield me from misanthropy.

Exploring Geminispace is another option — even just browsing through latest topics at Station. Political stuff is way less common on Gemini and even when you stumble upon it, it's somehow less depressing than it is on the Web.

@m0xee @lianna

Love Gemini, but I don't spend a lot of time on it.
Where do you start browsing?

@rl_dane
Station — the "social" thing is usually where I head to first: gemini://station.martinrue.com/
People often post the links to stuff they find fun there, or just random funny thoughts.
Cosmos and Antenna are two other good options:
gemini://skyjake.fi/~Cosmos/
gemini://warmedal.se/~antenna/
These are collections of stuff people post on their personal gemlogs.
Or just follow the feeds of people you like!

I'd also like to shoutout

gemini://bbs.geminispace.org/

Apparently it is similar to reddit, but the point is that there are multiple people and multiple topics on that site.

And in case you haven't heard of it, there's also the midnight pub:

gemini://midnight.pub/

Which is slightly more artsy.
