That is way over my head as I am genuinely a non technical user. I tried many times to have a statistic page and every time I failed. It may be hard to believe but some things that are trivial for hackers are not trivial for most people. For years, my domain name was going to waste. So my choice was between having a webpage on someone’s server or none at all. If a professional programmer wish to dedicate their very valuable time to make a static page for me for free, I’m all ears :) Until then, Bear Blog seems rather reasonable.
of course, if it works best for you, it’s a good option! for example, im not self-hosting the lemmy instance that i use. however, there are numerous advantages to self-hosting, and if you’d like to learn more i would recommend the selfhosted community on lemmy. world
