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?
I get more of a early 2000s vibe from the fediverse, with it's smaller, more intimate communities akin to those old school phpBB and vBulletin forums I used to frequent extremely often, but of course more modernized.
Ah nostalgia. I used to host a hip hop vbulletin that everyone migrated to after the biggest one closed down.
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.
