I've been surfing Gopher sites for the last few minutes using Lynx as the browser. My very first forays into the Internet were gopher sites accessed via the Internet gateway of my dial-up BBS back in the early to mid 1990s.
If you are under 30 that probably all sounds like Klingon to you.
Shoutout to @82mhz for the link that started me down this rabbit hole. And now I very much want to set up a Gopher site somewhere.
Also, I found this lovely old school hosting provider on a gopher site.
