An Internet Portal is an information hub connecting you a much wider portion of the internet.
For example:
- Wikipedia’s Content Portal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contents/Portals
- Github’s List of Awesome: https://github.com/topics/awesome
- Wikipedia’s List of list of lists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lists_of_lists
- Wikipedia Internet Forums List: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_forums
What Internet Portals do you know of that you would like to share?
What year is it? I haven’t heard anyone talk about web portals since 1996…
Yeah lol. Search engines have gone down in quality so bad it really does feel like that. It has been so difficult finding stuff on google/duckduckgo etc that I have to rely on portals now.
Breakout the dial-up and ask your friends on irc for portals. Maybe there’s a geocities community for it.

All kinds if interesting, whacky stuff.
I can’t believe I’ve never found this before, what a fun rabbit hole! Thanks for sharing! (And thanks to OP for asking this question too, lots of interesting answers here)
Wow thank you!
No problem!
All Lemmy threads, combined with toots from Mastodon. And more to come.
Oh man that’s an antique word, you even had to define it. It’s been entirely replaced by search engines and primarily social media now.
Some time ago, i found Curlie - a Web Portal maintained by volunteers, just like Wikipedia i presume
