Agora Road's Macintosh Cafe

A Nostalgic Y2K Community - Based on 90's Macintosh UI

Few ways, in no particular order: - are.na seems to attract people who have odd interests and it’s full of quirky websites - webrings are still a thing and there’s a bunch out there worth checking out - directories like https://512kb.club/ are usually full of interesting sites - by following links on blogs and sites you find interesting - some cool forums are still out there (https://forum.agoraroad.com/index.php) Shameless plug but I am currently curating https://theforest.link precisely because of the issue you’re describing.

- https://mastodon.social/web/@FunRandWeb They post every two hours a link to an indie website. Source code for the curious: https://github.com/xojoc/randomwebsitebot The websites are taken from https://stumblingon.com/ at the moment, but I'll add more sources in the future.
