There are still some servers out there, some are new, and offer services such as HackerNews, Project Gutenberg and others. Thanks to Anthk @anthk@paquita.masto.host who has made a list of some of these Gopher servers

Does the web allow you to do this at 2.7 KBPS?

  • Internet Archive gopher://tilde.pink/1/~bencollver/ia/
  • Huge portal gopher://magical.fish
  • News, blog and more gopher://1436.ninja
