A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

What are your favourite lesser known websites? (lemmy.world)

I want to see if I can get a spark of the "old internet" back by making a starting page for myself with all kinds of cool websites. But not sure where to start because Google obviously will not work for this.

So... what are some of your favourite websites?

What a treasure trove! At first glance I love all the ASCII art. But some of the texts feel like you're browsing some old Reddit/4chan posts. Will take me a while to get through all the gems!

I am really happy that you appreciate it. There is so much to explore there, be careful because it's easy to lose a lot of time browsing the files. Lol

I love reading about all the old school hacking and shit. There's some genuine 'anarchist cookbook' type of stuff in there. Probably don't try any of that shit, but it's fun to read about none the less.

Probably don’t try any of that shit,

Now you tell me, I just spent the last couple hours trying to get free CompuServe access.
