Even for gopher there is more than one search engine [1] besides the glourious Veronica-2.

Nice, ha? Mostly it's just a funny feature I implemented, because I ping my server list one time a day. So sometimes a perfectly alive server gets marked dead when I can't reach it at that exact moment.
But I have to say, that around 10% of the servers which were alive around the hype 2017/18 gone down.
Nevertheless it's fun to look around. There are so many gems to find, you'll never find on the WWW.
Besides that gopher makes fun to host from your living room.
Not specific to your subject, but here's a list of active gopher servers:

I regulary search for active/new gopher servers. This list gets updated daily.
Yes. I use plan9(9front) in my home network to serve local and remote a variety of services: smtp, dns, gopher, gemini, 9fs, rcpu.
I have a list of 634 gopher servers, which I check daily for their "aliveness":

There are some duplicates (different domains for the same content, IP addresses) but roughly 364 domains are constantly online.
oh sorry, missed the useful part. http://kamalatta.ddnss.de or gopher://kamalatta.ddnss.de
