• Armisael Webring | ?
  'Do you like lambda calculus? Monoids in the category of endofunctors? Avoiding JavaScript like the plague? Spending a sleepless night debugging display drivers? Encryption?

• Hotline Webring | ?
  ' Now, in 2022 C.E., there are search engines and aggregators so finding related sites isn't that hard, and webrings have fallen by the wayside. We here at Hotline Webring traveled to the wayside, picked up The Concept of a Webring, dusted it off, and launched it to frankly astonishing acclaim.'

• Our Space | ?
  'Our Space is a webring of static sites created by the individual who runs it - personal, hand-crafted sites. They were more common during the early stages of the internet, but these pages still exist & have an important place on the internet - possibly more important than ever before.'
• The retronaut webring | ?
  'Some of us miss the messy old days of the Internet where we tried to get along and we'd link to each other's sites and it was all so much fun.'
  Nothing to do with the podcast, I assume?

There used to be webring hosts that streamlined things like webring maintenance and script hosting. Had a quick look, and these are the only one's I've found:

• https://webri.ng/
• https://openwebring.com/ - Need Github account to join. Can also self-host.
