Guide to the Yesterweb

The Yesterweb or old web revival is a movement of people that are sick of the modern web - especially social media. They have brought back a web that is more personal and expressive, free from the reach of the big corporations.

The following is a list of websites that might be of interest to you.

Forums

Those websites are sorted by order of popularity (as the writing of this):

• Agora Road forum - A forum with vaporwave aesthetics. This place is essentially a slightly more civilized version of 4chan.

• Melonland forum - A forum based on the values of the old web.

• Yesterweb forum - A forum based on the values of the old web.

Things To Do

• Browsing Neocities - This site is a replica of Geocities. It hosts multiple personal websites (including this one). Lots of creativity there.

• Browsing Wiby - A search engine to search small websites. I recommend trying the "suprise me..." button to discover new things.

• Browsing SpaceHey - This site is a replica of MySpace, an old social media site.

• Browsing VidLii - This site is a replica of old YouTube from the early 2000s.

Finding New Sites

Many websites on the Yesterweb have what is called a "webring" it is essentially a collection of links, they sometimes take the form of buttons. Exploring those webrings is a lot of fun, as you never know where you will end up.
