Used to mod several large subreddits on reddit then they banned me for being one of the last protest holdouts. Now I just mod c/neat on lemmy world and post shit I enjoy.

My mom started blogging as a hobby when she retired, and over the past 12 years, I've been hosting and maintaining her WordPress site. She has written over 1100 posts, focusing on lifestyle, beauty, and various products reviews.

Her blog has opened many doors for her; she's been invited to exclusive events, met celebrities, and received tons of free products.

I'm incredibly proud to support her by managing this part of the "small web" for her. 🥰

I enjoy photography as a hobby, and uploaded my photos to my deviantArt gallery up untill about a year ago, I had just got my new camera and uploaded some photos to my gallery when I got damn pissed off, it suddenly hit me how damn slow it was, add to that how they have removed features and just made the site worse over time.

And with my new camera and larger photos it was just the last straw.

I just wanted to ho back to the mid 2000s internet with simpler web design not wasting my time with countless scripts and tracking crap.

I just wanted a simple but good looking index page linking to galleries of my photos.

So I kicked my HTML/CSS skills into high gear, put w3schools in my browser and started coding, it took a few weeks as I was learning as I went, but i got a nice looking index page with some CSS fun stuff, then I started generating photo galleries with digiKam and uploaded it all to an old school web hotel.

And I got what I wanted, it is basically instantanious loading pages and content, the galleries I use work excellent with arrow keys and you can even swipe back and forth if you are on mobile.

The index page looks fantastic on desktop, but is a jumbled mess on mobile, I don't care, it is my page and I am happy with it.

It is a semi private page, I don't advertise it, but I have it on my CV to show my hobby.

I took all my mom's recipes and create a web site for them.

I write a world/setting and host all the notes for it on my own little website. I'm kinda proud of how it is set up: I write things in Obsidian, push changes to a repo, and then a build server picks everything up to turn into a webpage and update the host server. From random thought to website is just a few minutes

I'm a part of a small group of railroad crossing signal enthusiasts who run a site that seeks to document railroad crossing signals and their equipment across the US and elsewhere. The site's been around since the 90s and was originally made by an enthusiast named Mike Hickok. He sadly passed away in 2011, so we keep the site and forum alive in his memory. The site's Canada section hadn't been updated since 2007 until I began documenting signals myself over a year ago, and it now has over 1200 pictures from 53 different crossings that I've documented. I'm proud of that, and I hope to get some more soon.

Still kind of wild how I watched a video about three.js and just decided to make this thing.

nice try

I've had a personal website since 1998.

I’ve massively slowed down and passed the reins to a new admin, but I’ve been documenting and posting the graffiti scene in my city for 12 years. Started on Tumblr, migrated to Facebook and now it’s on Instagram.

I still operate a Gopher site. Gopher is surprisingly active in a niche kinda way.

I have smol web Gemini blog that I put up to practise writing regular posts in a low-pressure environment. Mostly themed on the intersection of food, technology and politics. As expected, I'm terrible at updating. I do plan to migrate to WordPress eventually.

I think the closest I could say is my definitely needs maintenance and updates Neocities page. Don't know if it would count, but I so have a Spacehey (modern day Myspace) account I haven't done anything with in a while, too.

Other than those, I don't have much that I'd consider owning.

This account. On a large instance that I don't own. Not ideal in a pure sense, but the admins and mods do a lot of work that I don't want to do, so I'm fine with it.

I have several domain names, some have websites that I haven't touched in years, some have email that I equally haven't touched in years, and some are just ideas that I never followed through on.

I blog about network stuff, because computer networking is a passion of mine, and I get some okay views on it. Some of the posts are about pretty obscure stuff.

I've been meaning to create a website about good network design geared at home users, and how to make their home network suck less. Strategies on how to run ethernet, whether easy mode or hard mode and the benefits of each, even a subsection on options for renters to do it. Explanations on why your wifi probably sucks and how to improve the situation, etc. Wiki style.

It's a lot of writing and I know a lot about the subject matter, so each article would have a companion deep dive article so you can go deeper into why this or that affects your wifi or home network in the way that it does... Etc. But also have practical tips to avoid problems in the main article. It's an entire concept that I feel like the internet needs, but I have yet to find anyone publishing that kind of content.

Sure, you can get a bunch of technical detail on Wikipedia, but it doesn't really explain the real world consequences of things, just how they work. That's fine if you have an understanding of how things interact, but if you're new, it's just a confusing mess.

I just want to educate people into building better home networks, spending more (and less) money and why you would want to do that, where and when... How to use planning software, etc. Basically, I want to take the entirety of my wireless knowledge and put it out there for anyone to browse and learn from.

Arguably my YouTube channel, but I am of the belief I don't truly own it because Google is behind YouTube, and they call all the shots on the platform.

My start page 🤤

Ooh!! My lil personal website www.wetnoodle.org I have music and art stuff I make on there as well as many links to other cool websites and resources!

I have the world record for the most sites having signed up for and hold an active VIP presence on a number of them, though I don't have my own sites, with a wiki explaining the record and its sole holder possibly being the main close call, though the fact I'm signed up on said wiki presents a conflict of interest with its existence.

I had a MTV Road Rules page on angelfire. Its still there, but the HTML is embarrassing. (this was when frames were becoming popular on sites. 1999ish)

I'm the primary contributor of business book reviews on a few Slack instances. I post about once a week.
