I’ve been exploring the fediverse and subbing and posting all over the damn place. Realizing lemmy can federate with kbin blew my mind. Not to mention the possibility of turning my old laptop into a personal server to host my own instance. Is this what it felt like to discover how the internet worked in the 90s?
This is what it reminds me of. The bbs ecosystems around 1998-2003. PhP, Scoop sites, etc.
Scoop sites? Is that like a topsite?
No… though, those were fantastic.
Scoop was a format that a bunch of sites used. Just had a look and found the remnants of one: Hulver.
I got a 500 error from that URL.
