> Prediction: ... As search engines become less and less useful, users who want [better quality content that’s curated out of SEO spam will share it with each other, creating a sort of link repository or aggregator for quality, human-verified content.] [https://tildes.net/~tech/1734/the_dead_internet_theory#comment-8xwr](paraphrased from OP) so i thought it would be neat to make something like that, here, on lemmy - showcase the cool and niche things of the internet that you won't find with a search; something like I'm Feeling Lucky

It's very cool

Port87 is an email service that automatically organizes your email based on the "To" address. If you give the address "yourname-netflix@port87.com" to Netflix, then all of their email will go in the "netflix" label in your account. This lets you organize your email when you give out your email address. It also prevents phishing, since an email from "Bank of America" in your "netflix" label is obviously phishing. Labels meant for human senders, like the "friends" label (yourname-friends@port87.com), can be set to screen senders, so Port87 will respond to any new senders with a link to click to prove they're a human. Your "bare address" (yourname@port87.com) only responds to emails with a list of your public label addresses, so you can share it all over the internet without fearing spam. (For example, mine is [hperrin@port87.com](mailto:hperrin@port87.com).) Full disclosure: I created and operate this service.

A *very* cool website, if you will.

mynoise.net

I've been listening to this site for about a decade and absolutely love it. It's made by a sound engineer who makes music, drones, white noise, field recordings, etc., sometimes with the cooperation of other artists. The site allows you to adjust a soundscape to your liking, and you can take individual audio tracks from multiple soundscapes to create your own composites, too.

From the site: >This is an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed. >Where this search engine really shines is finding small, old and obscure websites about some given topic, perhaps old video games, a mystery, theology, the occult, knitting, computer science, or art.

very useful imo
