Best Fediverse platforms to do it all right this time (lemmy.today)

Y'all, I'm a big fan of Lemmy, and looking to get out of the walled gardens and into the fediverse as much as I can.

I'm wondering about a few things, so let me know before I go signing up for everything if I'm doing this right or what.

I'm looking for some sort of blog/html hosting site, and I think that Hubzilla is appropriate for this, but I'm not sure. Primarily, I just want some space for some webgames and assets. Nothing crazy. That might also be Codeberg (OSS, not federated AFAIK), but I'm not sure about Hubzilla since it seems to do everything. Federating from Wordpress won't work because they seem to have their direct HTML editing access locked down to the point that it's not what I need.

I understand that pixelfed is the IG parallel (I don't use IG more than seeing what my spouse and 1 friend sends me), but are there multiple options for FB replacement? Or just Friendica? I genuinely don't think I'll have any IRL friends on Friendica if I go look, but I'm not going to have to provide an ID. But hey, there's always my 500th overlapping Linux enthusiast group to join.

Thanks in advance - all advice appreciated!

I ran a Hubzilla site for a while, and first, it was a pain in the ass to get set up.

Second, the UI is terrible.

Third, Hubzilla seems entirely populated by cranky old men, inexplicable foreigners, and FOSS advocates who talk of nothing else.

I shut it down.

Yeah, I was a long-term Hubzilla user some years back. There's some really cool stuff that it can do, but it seems to get slower and more bloated the longer you run it.

Hahaha, I saw the same thing looking around and thought it was just me. I get enough of that on Lemmy, I don't need to double-dip. Thanks for the head's up.
