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?
Yeah definitely for me! It was like a kind of magic, finding these little communities and not being sure of what might be available online! admittedly though, I'm new to the internet so I didn't see the early days and it was probably a bit of childlike imagination. That being said, I'm saddened to see so many "why isn't this more like reddit" posts here; everything being centralised and "like reddit" defeats the point of federation, and there's nothing wrong with an internet where you have to browse to find your niche!
