    Neocities! It’s a spiritual successor to Geocities from ye olde internet, and it rocks. Poke through the directory of sites, there’s some wild stuff on there.

      It’s a great place to go if you are learning web design and want to practice what you’ve learned without having to pay an arm and a leg for a site.

    It has always been about the personal, non-blog (or not-just-blog) websites.

    well, that and horserentals.com

      I feel like this is a parody but having seen the early days of the world wide web I know I’m mistaken.

    The SCP wiki is always a fun place to lose a couple of hours. Here’s how they describe themselves:

    The SCP Wiki is a collaborative speculative fiction website about the SCP Foundation, a secretive organization that contains anomalous or supernatural items and entities away from the eyes of the public.

    And here’s an example page about a moth with mind control powers

      I didn’t know this was the same person who made the Making Fiends animations until I clicked on the giftshop link.

    Fark.com is one of the oldest link agitator sites out there.

    I found it during September 11th when all the other news sites went down due to traffic. It’s still going just as strong, if not stronger, today.

    It’s for sure a lemmy alternative / supplement

    Blogs. It’s amazing how many gems and great content are buried in countless blogs, maintained or abandoned.

    Hacker News is great because there a lots of interesting discussions and articles especually on Ask HN. It feels like a high quality tech/programming subreddit but without the disadvantages of reddit. https://news.ycombinator.com/

      I’m conflicted on if I want to upvote this because I like HN or downvote it because I don’t want more people posting worse content there

      The thing I love about HN is that it’s perfectly acceptable to browse at work since I would classify it as “industry news”

      I tried curating some on a sublemmy community

      Semantics, I know, but important to learn a new platform’s terminology.
