Was anyone else surprised to see Kbin being written in PHP? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I don't know if it's due to over-exposure to programming memes but I certainly believed that no one was starting new PHP projects in 2023 (or 2020, or 2018, or 2012...). I was under the impression we only still discussed it at all because WordPress is still around.

Would a PHP evangelist like to disabuse me of my notions and make an argument for using PHP for projects such as Kbin in this day and age?

I’m trying to get a website up and running, but I need to be able to self host it. Can your recommend something other than Wordpress that I don’t have to code?

Eventually I’ll have something cussing made, but for the time being, I just need something up and running.

Not sure if you're familiar with the terminology but WordPress is a Content Management System (CMS). I honestly don't know of many other than WordPress, I've heard of Joomla and Drupal but can't speak to anything about them other than they're CMSs, they're FOSS, and I've heard them talked about.

Thanks! I really don’t know much about website stuff.
