Like the title says. I just heard about it a few days ago from YouTube. It sounds really cute and gay, but I was wondering if it's just nostalgia bait or if they're actually achieving some sort of community over there. Also, whether there are a lot of leftists there or if they tend to get pushed out. Is it still up and thriving or did it peak a couple of years ago?

And uuuuh... if you made a cute lil website of your own, can I see? shy

    Yeah, I'm asking about neocities websites mostly. I got curious after watching this youtube video. (Hopefully the bot puts up a safer link).

    I've heard that it can also be called the small web or the old web. Basically just a small group of people making their own HTML and CSS websites, the most popular ones made from scratch. Rather than relying on google undyne-disgust for search results, you just keep clicking links to reach new websites like people did roughly 20 years ago. For those that haven't experienced that before, it's like going down a wikipedia rabbit hole, but fun and not just a way to procrastinate on finally writing that paper, pogchamp.
