Ah in the olden days, quite a few hobbyist sites used to maintain a link of other recommended sites in the same niche in the sidebar, with the idea being that if you like the site you're reading, you'll probably enjoy these other sites too.

This made them a very easy way to find new sites and communities, especially in fandoms like the ones for the Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, etc.

You can see a working example in the right column of this longtime Pokemon site:

https://www.dragonflycave.com/

With all those tiny buttons and what not.
