Alternative to Writefreely for blog? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Those who blog in the fediverse, what do you use? Writefreely is a bit too minimalist for what I want to do. Is the best alternative for me to just use wordpress with the activitypub plugin?

Honestly writefreely can be as elaborate as you want it to be if you self-host it. There are lots of options under the hood as well as the CSS being fully customizable. I host my own with a single core, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage and even that is overkill as pictures and videos are just embeds from other platforms. Plume is deprecated, and micro.blog is paid and not self-hostable. There is microblog.pub though which I haven't tried yet but looks promising.
