[-] WolfyGamer29@lemmy.world 88 points 1 year ago

Honestly I just jumped to Lemmy after dndmemes sent me this way and it feels like I'm delving into early internet forums back in the day, fresh and new and full of excitement for the future

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 year ago

I know exactly what you mean. Fresh optimism. For fun, not for money or algorithms.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Fresh optimism for the communities and the new apps all being furiously worked on right now. I’ve got Memmy, Mlem, and Voyager all installed currently and watching the rapid development of each is a hell of a lot more interesting than the one Reddit app that’s been dogshit since they bought it and stuffed it full of ads and is only getting worse.

Remember when forums would let you put unsanitized HTML in your signature and people exploited it to flood them with pop ups and redirects? Lemmy's bringing that back, too!

[-] Philolurker@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Came for the decentralization, stayed for the nonconsensual lemon party redirects.

This image brought to you by the time-period when anything with young people had to have skateboarding, surfing, or roller blading.

It was the law.

[-] cod@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Well in this case it’s quite clever since he’s literally surfing the web

Hard to believe our hover-keyboards used to have wires!

[-] zarathustra0@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

I was told it was weird to use the phrase "surfing the web" the other day. I am not even that old.

It beats doomscrolling. Surfs up, dude! 🤟

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 Kb/s, you're gonna see some serious shit!

If I could find my Encarta Encyclopedia disks, I would look up where this image comes from!

I love you guys. Lemmy is seriously the most fun I've had online in a long while. Also loving the serious posts and comments.

[-] seal_of_approval@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

Nice to meet you, fellow explorers of cyberspace!

[-] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 year ago

Does it really feel like the old web though? I'm a zoomie (22) and I kinda developed a rose tinted nostalgia for the old web (Windows 98 era) where I didn't even live in (tbf apparently a lot of zoomers have some nostalgia obsession with some sort of era).

Veteran lads, can Lemmy capture the old web feeling?

[-] ShakyPerception@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Right now, because it’s still growing and developing, Lemmy has this sudo-wild west felling to it. Like anything can happen.

This was how things were in the early days of the internet. With no way to know how things are going to turn out, people are just hanging out. Smaller groups interacting with each other, and just having fun.

It feels like a reboot, or a modern revision of the how things were.

This interview may have been the golden age of the internet - will we see something like this for Lemmy? Who knows.

[-] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks 15 points 1 year ago

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=NdUHDDj7fhk

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

[-] pensivepangolin@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

The fact that this is true is honestly my favorite part of Lemmy. I love the old school feeling of it being a novelty and a free for all and a work in progress all at once.
