Mike MayerMy wife wanted a place to post pictures that’s all her own so I’m giving Wordpress a try again after many years. It was always such overkill or too slow before. 🤷🏼♂️
Mike (no not that one)@mikemayer have you considered a pixelfed instance?
@mikey I have not. First I’ve heard of it, actually. I have an old and cheap plan with a shared hosting provider that offer managed Wordpress as a tent pole feature for their service so I’ll try that until her site blows up in popularity and then move to something else more bespoke or whatever is necessary.
@mikemayer that sounds easier. I mention pixelfed as it's part of the Fediverse family. It's like a self hosted Instagram. You can post to it and people can follow you from across the Fediverse. You can even follow her from here
@mikey sounds pretty cool. If the experiment grows it could be an option. Thank you for sharing the idea
