How did you find this site? And if the answer is "retrospring", " the fediverse", "rentry" or "bundlrs", how did you find that? I'm interested in how people reach small sites like this in the first place.

found rentry and bundlrs through twitter (pjsktwtβ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦.), decided i like bundlrs more, get into decorating in like may, get into community kind of in like. i forgot, made retrospring at the same time for twitter, retrospring shutting down next year, made strawpage for twitter, find neospring while looking for urls to claim on rentry i think, yayyy opportunity to make friends
So from 2017-2021 I was a huge carrd user to the point of having a carrd with html in it one point (thanks Jude for letting me use ur carrd pro back then). Around 2021 rentry started picking up on Twitter back when I was rlly online on that site so I used started using it a bit but it wasnβt anything like βgoodβ urls or amazing editing stuff. I didnβt rlly think much on rentry but one day when I was checking my ex gfβs friendsβs insta acc in 2023 to make sure I blocked him (I forgot to) I saw he had a bundles url so I decided to hop on the band wagon of hoarding/trading. Cared a bit more about rentry when Matt got the site and introduced the claim system cuz finally good urls for once tho Iβll always ALWAYS prefer bundlrs (bundlrs >>> rentry sorgy). So ofc everyone on bundlrs site was using retrospring for stuff like anon trades and all that so I made an acc on there around December. Ofc my friend started to work on Neospring when the announcement for Retrospringβs shutdown was announced. Officially the first member of this site besides Spark and first admin added on, very much love this site and canβt wait to see how it grows <333
my boyfriend at the time told me i should totes totes get a good username before they all run out (on retrospring..) so i did!!! i got @ ryo (unused now, by the way, sorrrryyy). and then never came back to. until i.. did, obviously, because i saw aesthetic profiles and wanted to make one. which i did. it was very ugly and i went by mavice it was pretty bad. but i had a cute @ (streamer...) and then!! u were there for the rest, mostly!
in 2023 i got into rentry really heavily & used pinterest alot for inspo . on pinterest , i found βsntry inspoβ, thus leading to me finding stellular . from stellular i found retrospring & when retrospring was shutting down angel posted about their (i forgot their prns) friend working on a remake of retrospring (neospring, at the time sparkler) & i waited till it dropped. thus, i found neospring
I found it by retrospring, I was never active on it mainly bc people on there are freaks. I found retrospring through rentry, and I really don't remember how I found rentry. But I know I did find it during 2023. I might have found it through Pinterest, I truly don't remember.
I have been knowing Retrospring for..not even 2 weeks. but i read that it will be closing in 2025, so i asked my online dad if he knew any similar sites because i didn't want to use Retrospring, it was gonna close anyways, and he told me about this :) So..Yeah that. (Also found Retrospring because it was in his profile)
