What are alternatives of WordPress if I wanted to add something to my website?

[–] IsThisAnAI 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Drupal, but you are getting into a different type of complex symfony code built on years and years of drupalism's. It's powerful and pretty well maintained though.

What are you trying to achieve?

  • static site like a blog? - Hugo
  • add comments? - Commento paid, or you can self-host
  • cloud stuff (e.g. Google Drive replacement) - NextCloud

There's a ton you can do, you don't need WordPress just because you want a website. Figure out what you want your website to do, then look for tools to do that.

Just a side note, Commento is kinda dead on the self-hosting front at least as it's been years since an update, which is probably not great for a public service.

However, Comentario is a updated fork that's being maintained.

I’ve used https://getgrav.org for a while and it’s been pretty solid.

If you want to add something to your website then you're already running WordPress, no?

[–] Fredselfish 1 points 5 months ago

No, I haven't added nothing. I was going code a basic html 5 page but I wanted a blog like atmosphere, since the website is all about my writing.

If you want a mostly straightforward WordPress-alike that's not WordPress, you probably should at least consider Ghost. I'm using it for my blog and it's got a slightly weird focus on "paid blog members", but it's super solid and doesn't have a multi-decade history of endless security problems.

And, soon, it'll be a happy member of the Fediverse.
