Everyone, go find some indieweb sites. Reminiscent of 90s, there are minimal websites with visitor counters and guestbooks.

How, uh... how do we find them? I'm presuming Google isn't really an option, since they drive traffic in the opposite way. Got a link to a list of them or something?

I haven't tried them at all but kagi claims to focus on smaller sites first, which would more likely include what they're referencing

Thank ya. I remember my favorite times with the internet being those when I had a list of small sites I'd check each day. I'd like to rebuild that :)

Neocities.org and theindieweb.com are good places to start. Also seqrch for web revival.
