Remember when the internet felt like a giant treasure hunt instead of just… cycling through the same five apps? Yeah, me too. That’s why I started COI (Corners of Internet)—a place where I dig up weird, fun, and happy corners of the web so you don’t have to.

No algorithms. No doomscrolling. Just pure internet exploration.

If it’s cool, underrated, or a little unhinged, it goes on COI.

Check it out: www.cornersofinternet.com

Also, if you’ve got a favorite weird site, drop it below! I’m always looking for new rabbit holes to fall into.

X, Insta, Threads at the top of the homepage

And for that reason I’m out.

would fedi links first help? if a site has precense in the gated communities but made that visually secondary to their friendica+masto+pixelfed links..?

(i don't want to go to a corprate kettlebox to check for news and updates, that's for sure.)

Oh yeah! that helps. Should add fendserve

haha just posted about lemme on X so can't blame you :)

This is pretty good and cool. Already found some hidden gems I didn't know about. Possible suggestion for another category is for youtube channels. Youtube's algorithm sucks now and there are only about 4 youtube channels I regularly watch. So it'll be cool to have a category to suggest good content creators on youtube .

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I know this is an XY fallacy type response but you mentioned YouTube sucks now so I'd like to interject.

Use the subscriptions tab. If you only watch 4 channels, sub to those channels.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I have subbed to all of them but video recommantions on youtube aren't even related to the video or even topic nowadays I find. I get mrbeast wannabees in the related tab despite never watching them. I can't find new channels because algorithm even with no influence recommends stuff I'm not interested in unlike when youtube was first around and it recommended you content creators based on your personal watches and not the algorithm

I installed the YouTube Enhancer extension in Firefox, and hid the recommended videos. They are mostly a distraction at this point.

I find new channels mostly from crossover/collab videos on the channels I do watch.

I did think about that, but the problem with that is I might have to then feature instagram creators (Thank god TikTok is banned jk :P)

I do wanna feature some youtueb videos, idk what should I do.

I would love suggestions.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe content creators in general? I'm just spitballing but ultimately it's up to you.

For suggestions on content creators.

Grant Wisler. Very underrated comedy skit maker. Reminds me of the early days of smosh and those kind of youtube videos but blends the skits with modern storytelling so it can go from a skit into a existenital piece of art and it doesn't feel jarring at all. I feel like he's going to make it big if more people knew about him.

Misohungrie. Cooking channel but cooks from those cookbooks based on fictional IP (One Piece, Ninja turtles, Gremlins even) to see if the food in the cookbooks is actually any good or if it's just a cashgrab. It's a very specific niche but a niche no one else is doing to my knowledge and he does it well.

Another cooking channel, sortedfood. Just a group of british mates having fun cooking food and learning about food. Sometimes they gameify things by having challenges but you always learn something new when watching it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Ah I do wanna bring a category that says Creators or something like that. Okay then I think it is possible for me to then tag them to a platform like youutbe Or instagram. Could be nice yeah. Also thanks for the suggestions watching Grant Wisler as I type. :D

Feels a lot more like a minefield nowadays. Good initiative.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It felt like a minefield back in the day, too. Entering random things as URLs had a very high likelihood of sending you to porn.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I dunno man. Accidentally seeing Goatse or Tubgirl never damaged me. Doomscrolling and social media in general though is making (not just) me depressed AF.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

well been there I feel most random words will lead you to places you don't wanna be or wanna be idk.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

yes for real, but not even a minefield its just 4 or 5 companies controlling all of internet lol that's carzy.

Thank you for the support

It's broken without JS. Not so old-school after all.

Algorithms ruined the internet when Mark Suckerbug found it, and now only porn sites remain virgin.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I can see a rap song in this comment lol so true though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh this is really cool, thank you. And welcome to lemmy (:

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Thank you so much, happy I found a place on the internet I could stay without being hit with random UGC ads.
