Hi, I created this as I couldn't see a Lemmy community for the show. Feel free to post whatever you like. Leaks, pictures, videos, discussions etc.

Hey all. I've not been on here for a while, but had an itch for a specific kind of website.

Remember that 2000s feeling of just being online, talking with others, watching flash animations, posting in forums, etc? Now that everything has gone overly corporate and the internet isn't what it once was, I'm wondering if there are still sites out there that any of you use, that give that same feeling.

I'm talking about sites you can interact with, whether it be forums, chat sites, etc. I just want that old school internet feel where not everything is bogged down with rules, over moderation etc. But where people have fun, post memes, and have managed to hold on to that old internet culture, if that makes any sense!

Basically, i'm looking for a site where the old internet users went and didn't leave.

Hi guys, I want to communicate with people here via chat if possible, and just wondering what people here are using?

I want to use a protocol if possible, and definitely not discord or some other software run by a corporation. Obviously IRC was the thing to use back in the day. Do people still use it or something else?

I love the fediverse and the idea of getting away from the big tech companies, and am looking for whatever real time chat software is recommended right now. Thanks.

Edit: Setup on Matrix, thanks guys! @xero-:matrix.org hit me up if you want!

So basically I created !oldweb here on lemmy.ml. Someone from another lemmy tried to subscribe and it told them the subscription was pending.

I'm on mobile currently and can't see anywhere where a request might have come in for me to accept. If its only visible on desktop that's fine, but I'm not too sure if I need to be accepting this or how it works.

Any help appreciated!

So I've just checked and there's 350 subscribers which is just mad to me. Sure the sub isn't really that active, but I can tell the interest in these sorts of old style and personal websites is definitely there!

Feel like I haven't posted much for a little while and wanted to make this post to say thanks to everyone who's joined so far and posted some really cool sites.

I've kind of just made this community but not really looked into anything further like modding or asking what people actually want. So if anyone has any suggestions or even want to come on board and help out, please let me know!

All sorts in here, emulators, software, personal sites etc.

What an absolute shit show. Brace yourselves for a massive influx.

An old school vibe with lots of links to random useless websites.

I haven't had a good look at this one, but there's tons of links in here.

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.
