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?
100% agree. I work in web and I hate the trend of SEO-bait articles. They’re largely totally unhelpful, too! I bet you could still find that blog, though, with enough time – if you remember anything about it, that is!
I remembered a lot better in college and I absolutely could not find it. I’m convinced the blog isn’t hosted anymore or something
If you remember some of the name, the internet archive is your best bet.
unfortunately I do not remember the name
Key words, etc. You would be surprised.
I wonder if there is a Lemmy version of internet detectives somewhere.
SEO-bait is the result of search engines and the prioritization of long form text over relevant hits. The internet has existed before search engines, and will exist long after they’re replaced with something else.
Yeah that’s what I’m saying; they’re largely totally unhelpful - they’re mostly irrelevant, because they’re just keyword-optimised nonsense that get in the way of actual, helpful results.
