The idea comes up again and again on the fediverse. It feels ripe for some app/platform to kinda nail it.

I’m not sure this is it or even something that does exactly the old web ring thing. I think a simple enough system for the human curation of web pages in a standardised way that can easily be consumed and aggregated would go a long way though. The fediverse feels like its close to something.

Man, their website is pretty off-putting. Where's the get-started/dive-in type page? How do I use the thing?

Iirc it's Geminispace.info

I could be wrong since I only visit their Gemini capsule.
