many people who have joined have related their extended stints on communities Reddit, Dig, Slashdot, or even older places like Usenet, and i’m super interested in what your best memories and favorite experiences on places like that have been in your time using them
I’d second Neocities as the best modern equivalent to static web communities. It’s not the same experience, but its kind of evolved into its own unique thing. Also, the marginalia search engine is a great tool if you’re looking for other weird and wonderful personal sites around the web that Google ignores.
