There's no real consensus. I do most of my replying by gemlog entries
with backlinks, but for actually discovering them, I don't in practice
search for backlinks; instead, I just look on CAPCOM and Spacewalk.

Reply-by-mail is a good idea and good practice, though.

I don't cross-post very much between Gemini and WWW. My gopher hole is a
mirror of my website, just because when I made my gopher hole I was
blogging on the web regularly, and configured my static site generator
to make gophermaps. My weblog mostly has things of general
interest/reference – technical how-tos and recipes. My gemlog has more
personal bits, rants, general computer stuff. I have a separate gemlog
for politics, which is intended to be in a gonzo journalism style.

Short bits go either on the fediverse, or in a single file that's
periodically updated in my journal, inspired by Shufei's Weiphlog.
