Is this what the internet felt like? - Lemmy.world

I’ve been exploring the fediverse and subbing and posting all over the damn place. Realizing lemmy can federate with kbin blew my mind. Not to mention the possibility of turning my old laptop into a personal server to host my own instance. Is this what it felt like to discover how the internet worked in the 90s?

It really does feel like the 90s. A bit magical, honestly. I hope this catches on just a little bit more!

And if you want to simulate the 90s desktop experience with a 90s browser that includes a MySpace clone:

I love that some of the songs in Bananamp on Windows93.net sound like something from an unreleased version of Super Monkey Ball.
