There are many such Indie Web & Small Web Website Directories out there, and I have quite a few saved in my Raindrop Bookmarks, bur here are the most recent.
A list is a feature on personal sites, often a page (not a post), for collections of specific kinds of posts or things that may not need separate posts, and distinct from a listicle.

Small Is Beautiful (Oct, 2022): What is the Small Web and why do we need it?
Today, I want to introduce you to a concept – and a vision for the future of our species in the digital and networked age – that I’ve spoken about for a while but never specifically written about:
The internet is a natural network, just build your own website.
I've committed myself properly this to building my own personal platform. No fancy tech. No new tools. No distractions with the latest fad.
