What are you trying to achieve?
- static site like a blog? - Hugo
- add comments? - Commento paid, or you can self-host
- cloud stuff (e.g. Google Drive replacement) - NextCloud
There’s a ton you can do, you don’t need WordPress just because you want a website. Figure out what you want your website to do, then look for tools to do that.

I’ve used https://getgrav.org for a while and it’s been pretty solid.
Just a side note, Commento is kinda dead on the self-hosting front at least as it’s been years since an update, which is probably not great for a public service.
However, Comentario is a updated fork that’s being maintained.
