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?

      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.

      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!

      Maybe because, at least in my experience, Hubzilla seems mainly used by grumpy old right wing bastards and European Nazis.
