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?

Don't know about the "cool kids", but Joomla worked out nicely for me.

I think it'll make a big difference if you need just the OOTB platform, or additional plugins.

Joomla is a CMS, I wouldn't recommend it in this context.
