I've been wanting to have a blog/personal website on the fediverse for a while, something close to neocities and I was wondering if you know of some platforms.

I see a lot of people recommend WordPress but recently I just discovered Hubzilla which seems like a good option but I don't see anyone talk too much about it.

What's the opinion on Hubzilla? and any other ideas? thanks :)

I'm no expert, and I just now did quick research into hubzilla, but it looks like a fine option.

MIT licensed FOSS, repo on gitlab, recently updated
good for blogs and any size group of people in a social network
supports activity pub, so connects to pleroma, friendica, mastodon, etc...

Yeah, good stuff. I also wonder why we don't hear more about this?

Oh it didn't occur to me to check it on gitlab! I was afraid of being abandoned or something but it seems it's active and seems a good one. Hopefully more people discovers it since I think it deserves more attention!

The source code is actually on Framagit.

Ignore the creation dates; Hubzilla is much older than that.

I guess that's because most information about the non-Threadiverse Fediverse comes into Lemmy via Mastodon. And next to nobody on Mastodon knows that Hubzilla exists, much less what it can do.
