@elfin have you heard of the term "Drupalism" - this seems to be one. 😁
In fact, you can turn that just off, but then you need a theme, that shows both, frontend pages and admin pages in a pretty way. Not all themes do in #BackdropCMS. Didn't look at Drupal in a while.
A "lightweight" alternative is to turn off using the admin theme for content creation. In fact, I always turn that off on my sites for better user experience. 😉 That setting can be found on /admin/appearance (both CMSes).
After seeing this post: https://fosstodon.org/@stpaultim/116139177428920542 I discovered #backdropcms.
I looked at #drupal a while ago when #wordpress (enjoy hashtags?) was looking like it was going downhill but it seemed odd, and I couldn't say why.
I hadn't heard of this one before, though it seems like it's been around for a while and has a good community around it.
Bonus! I found it in my #yunohost server so going to take it for a spin.
Looking for someone who is involved in #Indieweb to participate in online event for Backdrop CMS. We'd like you to facilitate a discussion about what the Indieweb is? What's it's up to in 2026? And if there are opportunities for our open source community to be more involved? https://events.backdropcms.org/ We welcome volunteers or referrals! #smallweb
@blogdiva can't say anything about the other CMS, but...
"#BackdropCMS should do" sounds a bit odd to me. If you want a feature, create it.
Backdrop is an #OpenSource web CMS. No platform or company, it's software built and maintained by a community. So, Backdrop - as software - doesn't "do"... 😆
No ActivityPub implementation, but a module to publish to Mastondon, hence the Fediverse, by writing blog posts exists: https://backdropcms.org/project/mastotoot 😉

“Open Web”
it is not lost on me that the VC-backed #Drupal leadership jumped on the #AIslop bandwagon with this REDUNDANT DrupalCMS conceit; but nary a peep about what would make sense for the project: turn Drupal into an #ActivityPub framework for building different #fediverse webapps.
Drupal isn't the open-source mess Wordpress became; but it’s been a thing to watch how the capitalists set the priorities.
#BackdropCMS should do what Drupal won't: become a framework for AP webapps.
#Drupal (qui est basé sur @symfony) c'est super mais ce n'est pas forcement adapté pour des petits projets. J'ai découvert cette alternative @backdropcms. C'est la même chose que Drupal mais en plus simple. Mon prochain site, je pense à le faire avec... Avis aux amateurs ! #cms #webdev #backdropcms #symfony
The #BackdropCMS community is proud to release version 1.33.0 of Backdrop CMS, following our 4-month release cycle.
This release also marks the 11th birthday of Backdrop CMS! 🎉
As usual, conveniently update via admin user interface.
