    Great comment. I made a community called !oldweb today to share and discuss old style websites and sites that aren’t just the top social media sites. So things like quirky personal websites, webrings, website lists made by others etc.

      Until there’s enough traction, would you be open to having digital garden discussions there too?

          In a broad sense its bringing old school web architecture (everyone owns their own self contained corner of the internet with internal and external links) to modern web technology (things look nice)

            I love this idea. I’m gonna teach myself how to make a website specifically to help bring the web back to its roots.

      I’m new to lemmy. Do you know a way to link to a community that works everywhere? I see only „!oldweb“ as text without a link in your post an don’t know on which instance it runs. Probably oldweb@lemmy.ml? Or what is the correct way to link to a community?

        I’m still trying to figure this stuff out myself man. I just went onto the community and the link in the URL bar is https://lemmy.ml/c/oldweb

        Not sure if that works for you?

          Ok, I’m able to paste this link on the search box of the instance I’m on and then I can subscribe to this community.

          I’ve seen some communities mentioned in the form of !oldweb@lemmy.ml but it probably depends of the client if it gets parsed as a clickable link?

          I have much to learn. 😁
