A community for anyone who misses the "old web". Inspired by a post I made asking for examples of websites with an old school vibe. This community can be used to post links to old style websites, directories of websites, etc.

This blog was posted by its creator under a lemmy post discussing the issues with modern websites. It is delightfully minimalist, and the post I linked is a call to action to return the early web. As well, they have some interesting stuff linked on their site.

This is a site I saw linked on Xer0's original post(https://beehaw.org/post/426067). It seems like a very fun timesink and I love the colorful icons and ui.

I saw this site recommended by other users looking for gaming-related news, and for me, one without a lot of the excessive ads and commercialization of game journalism.

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!
