Let's bring back the webring.

The no ai webring is full of really unique stuff. There’s definitively people out there still doing webrings. Now we need a metawebring.

Slop sucks and all, but those abandoned "let's make pages look like geocities" sites are pretty tiresome.

I'm part of one and I don't think it really promotes discoverability. What could work would be some kind of search engine restricted to said webring to make a button to list similar articles. At least I would click on such a button!

I'm on the Merveilles ring and it has such a local/"neighbourhood" search, hosted by one of the members: https://lieu.cblgh.org

Pretty cool, and seems easy to set up

As someone who wasn't around in their true heyday I'm all for it.

Webrings were cool, and I wish I could find some for my own niche hobbies that were curated by dedicated parties.

I also miss Guestbooks, but know that they'd just be a cesspool now.

I joined a web ring last year, but I'm uncertain about it. Modern web rings tend to automate updates to the next/prev buttons, so I'm never sure what I'm linking to. The web ring owner acts as curator, but I don't know how much effort they put in to keep slop or other undesirable content out.
