Heard from friends that big YouTubers are now starting to learn how to use Neocities, this place might about to grow real fast. MAN it had to be the one month where I'm in the middle of moving... --------------------- UPDATE: This is kind of a scary prospect actually

i predict an uptick in people using pre-made layouts with almost no changes other than color. maybe they'll leave after they discover websites aren't inconvenient, but we might, for a short time, be overwhelmed with people expecting convenience. i shudder at the thought

i also feel like this is bad for a reason that is harder to articulate and maybe makes me sound like a pretentious dick....Neocities and other site hosts are already really easy to find, actually, if you know what you're looking for. people who wanted to find it, would. now, though, it's more visible people who didn't know or care what they were missing, it's like giving Myspace to someone used to Tiktok or Instagram

I think I have some faith in people. Tbf I almost did the whole template route and almost gave up on coding a few times. The only reason I kept going is because I was procrastinating from doing my illustration stuff…

i mean no matter how or why people arrive here, more people choosing the indie web instead of the big social medias is a good thing. but i dont know if neocities growing bigger is a good thing in itself? i think we're gonna need to remind ourselves to not focus too much on numbers or followers and remember why we started our sites in the 1st place before we end up w the same behavior we're trying to escape from here

shift in the zeitgeist. its gonna be a shock at first. a good thing for the zeitgeist overall. anything away from hyper consumption can only be good. but not really good for the niche. gym in January. not an issue for me i find sites from of sites i already like.

you guys are right. no matter where people are coming from, if they make something good, that's what matters. i just don't have faith in people, not even myself. those kinds of numbers can be addicting

I mean, from what I know, Onio (onio.club) did make a youtube video about the indie web but they've been on here for 3 years now. I definitely got an uptick on my stats + guestbook from his video but people have been really nice! TBH I don't think people will learn how to code en masse from this

I think it could be a good thing, but at the same time I'm afraid of the number of empty sites we'll get from ppl who will only join to follow their favorite creators, which is not the end of the world by itself but oof x__X

it'll peak hard then plateau after a while ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i agree with brach, hoping moreso the existing infrastructure can handle any peak in traffic then changes in site culture and so on. this isnt really a "social media" like most others are and that can be initally offputting to many. still, it's worth downloading your sites/mounting them on a drive as a backup just in case

Way I see it, it's the same as anything that gets really popular. It's a big craze, everyone wants in. After a while, most will give up. This is not strange. There will be a few that remain, whose interests are truly peaked. Those are the ones that become the next generation. Its the same with art, music, anything really. There's that one in a hundred, always been like that.

ill be the first to say i think those youtube videos about the indie web are really annoying. have they ever considered that by posting videos of them browsing indie websites they undermine the point of indie websites. this comment has been made possible by my first appearance in one of these videos

like do they not recognize the absurd irony in the fact that they're posting videos about how meaningless large social media platforms have become. on a large social media platform. LEAVE ME ALONE

yes! especially since a lot of people here left/renounced other forms of social media for various reasons. i get the gesture but there's a reason people choose to create and exist within the indie web, so to disregard that (by putting a site in one of these vids) without even asking before hand...cmon...

it feels strangely voyeuristic sometimes like it's making a spectacle out of sites created Out of the desire to get out of social media making a spectacle out of everything 😭 i wanna give the benefit of the doubt but i fear it invites a lot of the 'doing things for the aesthetic and then getting bored of it 2 months later' type of crowd

that is such a good point. it feels like common courtesy to at least ask if people want to be featured?? I think it's interesting because surely the thought is "well who wouldn't want to get more exposure, and more followers?" which is a very conventional social media way to see it
