YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

glad to hear you're safe neoNeighbour

^ same here, glad you're safe

Glad you’re okay omg!!

feels like an exciting time to be on neocities. I thought I was going to have to self-promote on instagram to get anyone on my site but it's so hopping over here I haven't bothered yet

Its good to hear youre ok. And yeah, im terrified as well. The last thing we need it neocities going mainstream lol

Welcome back, TabF5 *windows xp boot sound*

glad you are okay.

Thank you!! Same with you!

Wet bulb weather is horrifying

man ive been getting heatsick from my car lately be extra careful. Carry a drink with ya EVERYWHERE

that sucks, please be safe!

during high heat and high humidity a nice cold wet towel around my neck/over my shoulders always had me covered. stay safe

Power outages suck! Glad you're staying somewhere with actual QOL for now.

that is terrifying, thanks for the heads up.

that kind of weather is my nightmare! I'm glad you're safe now.

That is just crazy, I wouldn't be able to survive that. Hope it passes soon enough, but it's summer in your locale and it's a ways to go before the season changes.

Thank God you're alive bro!

that sounds so so scary!!! please stay safe `(*>﹏<*)′

oh man i can't even imagine how horrible that must've been. i already couldn't sleep almost at all at like 31 celsius and like 70% humidity, i can't imagine something like 35 and 90%

Good luck! It seems I might lose power too. It's crazy how bad the weather can get.

heat-waves SUCK. stay cool/hydrated o7

Thank you!!!

Yup, one of the most impressive websites on the internet in 2026

Hopefully you're doing okay after all that. My partner's power is out too and the electric company told him that it might not come back in his area until 11pm Wednesday.

I got the same text, fuuuuuuuck

My stupid ass was driving in it last night 😭 I'm ok tho, just lots of down trees on the roads. I thankfully still have power

yeah i just had a really bad storm nothing else although im closer to nj than lancaster

I want to talk about how to find your place on here, instead of getting discouraged and abandoning your site. The creative fulfillment potential on Neocities is way higher than anywhere else, but learning HTML/CSS/JS can be tough, and all one probably wants is to get good enough at it to be noticed by others. It's tragic when I find abandoned profiles of people who never find friends, especially because you SHOULDN'T

feel like you need to catch up to the mega-talented users on Special Sauce to feel valued. But something I've noticed I've been doing is following people if they regularly leave comments on my feed posts or other's, regardless of how their site looks. I've also found it helpful whenever someone I follow leaves a comment under that auto-generated thumbnails post saying what changes they made, as it helps me find

what's new that I can interact with and reply to. You can also leave nice messages directly on people's pages, but I've found it feels 1000x more affirming when someone comments on existing posts, since it's a reminder that someone is listening and actually cares. If you show everyone you're listening with the comments system, you are bound to finally find that feeling of belonging on here.

You should also still keep working on your site design and manually finding new sites to follow too, but I hope this extra advice helps anyone new on here to find great people. So if you're feeling discouraged, please keep trying because Neocities is worth it!! (Sorry this is so long but this is REALLY important)

Yesss this is absolutely the creative spirit of neocities and the indieweb as a whole. Community >>> popularity

well said, even though i sometimes feel guilty when i follow a new website without leaving comments. maybe because i haven't got used to this social media aspect of the neocities, much less i used one before. but discovering sites and using them as inspiration is what kept me doing this for two years (unbelievable!), even if i update my site sparsely.

Yes! Talking to people and being supportive is such a big deal! Everyone here is so nice, there's no real sense in being shy.

also hey dont feel pressured to push out content all the time. just Interact with ppl and shit and you'll get traction. but also yknow the sites not going anywhere. take your time.

That's one way to look at it. I'd take the negative version: I still have 6 months to put up with! Just kidding, I don't pay attention to the date.

SCARY

Don't speak of this

I can't wait til 2001!

stop

and no flying cars :peensive:

to me (an optimist), the year is half full

I feel we should all get an award for making it halfway through this year

Time to fire up the Christmas Spotify playlist!

Thenother half is gonna feel like a whole nother yearnon its own lol

I could’ve swear the two eid holidays were yesterday. what? what happened?

Do not say such things. I am scared now
