Everyone, go find some indieweb sites. Reminiscent of 90s, there are minimal websites with visitor counters and guestbooks.

[–] alanjaow@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (6 children)

How, uh... how do we find them? I'm presuming Google isn't really an option, since they drive traffic in the opposite way. Got a link to a list of them or something?

Neocities

I haven't tried them at all but kagi claims to focus on smaller sites first, which would more likely include what they're referencing

[–] alanjaow@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Thank ya. I remember my favorite times with the internet being those when I had a list of small sites I'd check each day. I'd like to rebuild that :)

I found some sweet places through, ironically, YouTube videos talking about dead internet and how there are people passionate abot old alive internet.

Neocities.org and theindieweb.com are good places to start. Also seqrch for web revival.

I'm guessing since they're reminiscent of the 90s, maybe Yellow Pages?

Webrings as well?

Damn, that random site button really scratches the old StumbleUpon itch.
Edit: Also what the fuck, since when do urls with emojis work???
This changes everything!

[–] filcuk@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

They work, but they probably shouldn't. I use one for url shortening and I love it, whilst its sometimes a pain at the same time.

[–] hayvan@piefed.world 3 points 2 months ago

Actually yes, indie web sites do organize webrings.
