So, one of the use cases in my search for Wordpress alternatives is falling short in the research section. Trying to search things out in a slightly different way.

To elaborate, Im now trying to search CMSes by level of community involvement. With Wordpress, there once was a diverse set of plugins. Any website function or display you could think of, and there was a Wordpress plugin for it.

Like, what CMSes are thriving (with community) in this era of mass enshittification?

No idea what has recently happened with Wordpress, but I hear talk about finding alternatives again

Already, I have been using my "website with robust photo gallery/albums" as my main use case when searching for a CMS. However, I still want to find a CMS that is as universal to different use cases. One thing I like about CMSes like Backdrop and Wordpress, was that the website was open ended to start. No matter the use case, there were plugins (add-ons) for many types of website function.

From my website dev sandbox, here is a list of CMSes I have looked into (and might spin an instance up)

- Drupal (Version 10? Version 11?)
- ClassicPress (fork of wordpress)
- TextPattern (Version 4.x)
- Craft CMS
- Flatpress (another fork)
- VVVeb (CMS with drag-and-drop)
- Typemill (CMS for Manuals, Documentation and Wikis)
- Frappe
- Statamatic (Laravel based CMS)
- Joomla (Version 6.x. Admittedly, not one of my favorites)

This is fascinating & really educational:

This site allows you to either use a sliding scale or put in hex codes to define #colour for both background and text, as well as determine text font size and thickness, and every combination is graded for #accessibility for people with #cataracts, #glaucoma, and various kinds of #ColourBlindness.

You can 'see' how that person would see your website.

A fail means that the #color combo offers some visual strain and should be avoided if possible.
