We’ve had plenty of questions about what people miss from reddit that Lemmy had, or what they hope doesn’t come to Lemmy from reddit in future, but do you miss from the earlier days, before reddit that you would like to come back?

    Small forums where everybody knew everybody (there’s still some kicking around). Personal websites/blogs were fun. I think they could make a comeback now that it’s easier than ever to host and big social media is going to poo.

      Oh yeah I loved forums. They honestly feel so outdated these days, but I still post on them sometimes anyway lol

      Personal websites/blogs definitely are a blast from the past too, I can’t even think of the last time there was a blog I regularly read lol

      You’re right that these previous used older types of websites might make a comeback when these large corporations squeeze us to death for profits, it’s kind of interesting how things might come full circle.

      The era of personal websites was something else. I remember the weird and wonderful creations you could find on GeoCities.

        It was cool to be a 12 year old kid getting pokemon advice from other 12 year old kids who were allowed to have whole ass websites. It was a weird and funny time to be alive.
