this is a masterlist of communities i have found, not a list of ones i'm in. any communites i am in are on my homepage.

when i write somethign is open to 'any site' i mean any hand-coded site (neocities, github, dreamhost, nekoweb, etc), none of these communities typically allow social medias, carrd.co, rentry, wix, squarebase or similar sites to apply or join.

i'll list here if a community has an age requierment or doesn't allow sites with nsfw content, but a lot have addtional rules and you should always read the rules on their site before applying or joining.

Webrings: a collection of websites, often with something in common or a theme, that are linked together in a circular way (your website links to the next person in the ring, theirs links to the person after them and so on until the last person links back to the first person). a way in ths 90s/2000s to find other peoples websites before search engines became better, however sadly now with search engines it's hard to find any smaller site, so webrings are back.

Cliques: i find it hard to know the difference between cliques and fanlistings but maybe there is? the only difference i can see is just that they call themselves cliques instead of fanlistings, but link all their members in a list like fanlistings do rather than webrings circular way of linking individual members with their buttons. some however do not have a list of members.

Pixel Clubs: a group of users connected by each user making a matching drawing/graphic/image that can be connected too or displayed with the images made by the other members. these are almost always if not always made using a base the club creator will provide for you to edit.

Misc Communities: other communites that don't fit into the other definitions here
