[serious] What’s a lesser known website that everyone should check out?

Archive.org

Not exactly “little known,” but I don’t think enough people know how much you can use Internet Archive for. You can find tons of books, newspapers, music, videos, movies, etc., all for free.

SpaceHey

Https://spacehey.com Didn't see it in the first stack of answers, wanted to make sure it was at least on the list. SpaceHey is a sort of old-school MySpace replicant. The number of users is certainly growing, but compared to social media titans like Facebook and Twitter, SpaceHey is definitely less well known than them.
