Self-hosted blog options. (lemmy.world)

With layoffs starting at WordPress, and me recognizing that I'm a bit of a dinosaur in this regard, I'm wondering what folks are using for self-hosting their own blog these days? While I'm not exactly prolific, I do like having my own little home on the internet to write up things I find interesting and pretending people actually read it. And, of course, I really don't want to be reliant on someone else's computers; so, the ability to self-host is a must.

Honestly, my requirements are pretty basic. I just want something to write and host articles and not have to fight with some janky text editor. And pre-built themes would be very nice. It would be nice if there was an easy way to transition stuff I have in WP; but, I can probably get that with some creative copy/paste work.

So, what are all the cool kids blogging on these days?

The amount of design elements (HTML beyond text markdown like divs) and pseudocode (elements that only render when parsed before delivering to the browser) that end up in the content is something to consider. Enabling a text editor alone does not tell you much. You can support easier bold, italic and ~~strike though~~ with a structured data approach.

It's when you get into creating layouts in the editor that really differentiants a page builder from a content management solution.

These aren't mutually exclusive terms.
