Hello!
I’ve been wanting to start a blog, so I can get rid of the few opinion-pieces that are filling up space in my mind, but I’ve gotten stuck at selecting a good framework with which to host the site.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a lightweight blog engine, that can prefferably federate into ActivityPub? I know about Wordpress, but I wanted to avoid it mostly in regards to security. Not that it would be unsecure per se and with proper maintanance, but I’m lazy and will probably forget to update it often enough, and due to it’s popularity it’s a pretty common target.
So far I was considering https://writefreely.org/, but I’m not sure if I would be able to make it look good/interesting.
I’ve also heard good things about Ghost, but the linked website seems to imply that federation is still not ready, is that correct?
Is there anyone here with their personal blog, who have a software to recommend I should look into?
Thank you!

You could host your own instance, or if your opinion-pieces are programming related, post them there
Don’t know if that works or if Drupal is overkill, but that would be my first idea: https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub
But I haven’t done anything with Drupal for quite some time.

Easy: WordPress, Medium
Pretty easy: run a static site that supports RSS (I use Hugo) and then type your domain name into this to make it bridge https://fed.brid.gy/
Wow that Bridgy looks cool thank you for that.
