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?

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

      I once met a person/team, that did what was basically a direct precursor of VTubing, except it was a webcomic formatted as a blog, and you could interact with it’s characters through MSN messenger and e-mail. Too bad it ended quickly likely due to production issues.

      If someone is interested, you can find it here: http://fan-chan.blogspot.com/ (It’s in Hungarian, might translate it in its unfinished glory if there’s a need for it)

      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.
