I have been playing around with https://neocities.org/ and https://techrights.org/gemini/ and found some gemini/gopher links that were pretty cool. I was wondering if we had a community for “small web” sites. AKA sites that are maintained by a small collective or individual hosters.? Or just people wanting to have fun online again?

EDIT: Thanks everyone!

I went ahead and created a super-feed for the communities that were identified below:

~smallweb@piefed.social

If your on piefed, you can subscribe. to the feed.

    I self-host my own game servers for my friends and communities, so I know it’s definitely possible to run stuff on a budget. I’m just thinking a forum or blog/message board site, even for niche subjects, will get scraped to death and may outpace your initial resources allocated, so the only way to sustain that is having a benevolent owner.

    Then again, I could be thinking way larger scale than what OP is thinking.
