I've been to cosmic.voyage a few times, actually. Lots of good stuff
there, and I love the premise. I actually plugged cosmic.voyage in my
ballots for the 2019 and 2020 World Fantasy Awards.

tanelorn.city is a little different, though. The name might be inspired
by Michael Moorcock, but there's no unifying premise or theme to what
people write there. You don't have to write Moorcock pastiches to be
welcome. :)

Thanks. I've implemented something similar with tanelorn.city users'
public_gemini directories. However, I think I'll combine it with a
strategy involving rsync and rdiff_backup that Thomas Karpiniec
suggested off-list.

Thanks. I appreciate the help.
