It was fine IMHO.

OP didn’t like the answers as usual.

Thanks. The post that you’ve mentioned drew far too many negative comments.

4 chan trolls means ??


I swear I don’t understand people like you on the internet. 4chan trolls want to have fun, but you’re stupid on purpose and it makes no sense to me. Is it some kind of kink?


There are some issues on mobile. Web 2.0 sites almost always had issues due to lack of responsive web design, but in 2026 the retro aesthetic can be achieved on all aspect ratios.

Also, back in the web 2.0 days they didn’t have Grok to make their iconography… if the retro aesthetic is your goal, take a look at some neocities sites to get an idea for what design choices and resources they use to create their assets.

Also, this is just my opinion, but if you have/will use AI tools to generate your html/js/css, I highly recommend taking some time to make some basic sites from scratch as practice. If nothing else, it will improve the prompts you can compose and improve the quality of code you accept from your agent.

What are death cults ??


That’s your interpretation. You linked to a very specific page instead of the home page which would have been more interesting. The fact that it is linked to a cultish web site that has the same design as death cults of the 2000s is intriguing to say the least.

The purpose of this community is to hunt out and exhibit retro style websites/pages.


It’s obviously “retro” with the style of old web sites.

Ignore all cults

lol

My question was more related to the design of the website rather than the content. Is it a retro design website ??

Ignore all cults, simple as that.

That’s really lovely. Thanks for sharing this !!


The “under construction” gifs were fun. You never know what you’ve lost until it’s gone.





And it still loaded faster than some modern sites! Fun little trip, thank you.

Is the link opening on your device ?

Thanks 👍😊


Just added it to Lemmy Federate; that should help with visibility.


I think this is a beautiful idea!. I’d love to see a lot of these types of posts on my feed.keep up the great work .

I don’t know how to make use of that !!


by The Retro Guy OP depth: 2

That’s lovely ! Thanks 😊😊

Could you adjust the font size ?

I wish to give it an authentic retro look !!


it sounds like it could be cool! you’ve already shared it around so federation won’t be a problem

although it’s a bit similar to !retronet@lemmy.sdf.org and !oldweb@retrolemmy.com and !oldweb@lemmy.ml

Do you have any sources for old websites that can be used to post here? or any other kinds of resources?

your custom CSS is a little hard to read, maybe needs a slightly bigger font size, especially for the post titles, or maybe just more letter-spacing

I think just this is enough

.post_teaser_title_a {
    letter-spacing: 1px;
}

I like the concept of the community, subscribed 👍

I gather this isn’t exactly the sort of content you’re looking for, but I feel obligated to drop this link, it even works on Windows 3.11…
