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?

You remember when people were putting up their own static "front page" to the web? I mean, because the web was still small enough that individuals could still reasonably curate their own little corner of it? It was like if Reddit was just a little cottage tucked away in the English countryside, instead of some massive metropolitan bus station.

Netscape had a "webpage builder" and it felt so legit and we had no idea how to get it to the internet...

Did you remember to include a gif of a hardhat worker with a sign saying "caution: this site is under construction"?
