Is there any fedi-friendly(ish), selfhost-able, foss-like, online course software that's better than Moodle? I know Moodle is out there but don't want to faff about with it if there's a better software I can put on my site and offer classes.

Edit: Nothing against Moodle per se, but looking for alternatives *like* it so I can assess options.

@michaelc I am plowing back into moodle as of today and would be more than glad to yoke along with you if you decide to mess around

@michaelc I didn't find options but I don't know what I am doing

@geonz I've used Moodle, Canvas, and Blackboard in the (somewhat distant) past, so there are familiar bits but probably also good to assume I don't know what I'm doing either.

Also, I like your account name. I did some math curriculum work in the past, with a focus on student choice more than explicitly cognitive accessibility.

@michaelc
I have had a website since 1998 and can run a Moodle course off it.
I have gotten awesome help from the Moodle community (if only because my questions are different :P ). I asked about "drag and drop" to drag a number somewhere and somebody answered by figuring out how to make a puzzle with a flower ;)
