There are a lot of small websites on the Internet: Interesting websites, beautiful websites, unique websites. Unfortunately they are incredibly hard to find. You cannot find them on Google or Reddit, and while you can stumble onto them with my search engine, it is not in a very directed fashion. It is an unfortunate state of affairs. Even if you do not particularly care for becoming the next big thing, it’s still discouraging to put work into a website and get next to no traffic beyond the usual bots.

    i know, right?

    if only there was a way to tell other people about these websites in … some kind of an … internet forum. and if the forum was on a nice, not too bot-infested, privacy-respecting, free, distributed and federated platform. that would be cool. one can wish…

      The people here are the problem. They screech and scare anyone less than social democrats on the spectrum.

      Reddit was never close to as an echo chamber.

        My experience was that every sub reddit itself was an echo chamber.

        Not having the majority opinion of the subreddit meant getting negative scores because of downvoters, which lead to deleted posts because of that stupid karma system.

        But yeah, suggesting a permanent solution for both sides of the Israel-Palestine conflict on Lemmy by criticizing BOTH sides doesn’t get you sympathy points here eather.
