A collection of links on a funky retro looking site. Some of the links are link pages themselves so there's tons of stuff here to check out.

This is a page absolutely full of interesting sites, you could spend hours trawling through all of the links and the subsequent links you find on each site.

I have created this community because I have a huge nostalgia and passion for the "old internet". Basically, before it all got boiled down to like 5 main sites.

I asked on Lemmy for people to list websites they use or links to old style websites, and had plenty of replies to my post. Since then I have had a deep dive into loads of interesting, quirky websites, free from the meddling of corporations, ads, and tracking.

There is so much out there that you'd struggle to find on search engines. I'd like this community to be somewhere we can post interesting websites, old style websites, personal websites, lists of websites, etc.

If anyone else has a passion to explore the depths of the Internet and share these sorts of sites, you're welcome here!

Hey all. Since the Internet has just been boiled down to the main big social media sites, it feels like the magic is gone. Whens the last time someone said to you "hey check out this cool website"? It's always the same: TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, FB, Reddit, Discord. Forums are basically dead. Chat rooms are dead. Message boards are dead.

I miss that feeling of just discovering interesting or quirky websites. Lemmy is cool because it feels fresh and new, and there's not a boat load of users here yet. But what other sites do you guys use or can recommend? I remember browsing Joe cartoon, Newgrounds, weebls, Ebaums, failblog, damnlol, and a bunch of other stupid but either funny or interesting sites.

Are there sites out there that still have that early Internet vibe? I feel like there is a treasure trove of still active websites out there but I have no idea what they are. Any recommendations would be GREATLY appreciated.

Edit: I created !oldweb where these sorts of sites can be shared!
