[help] Should I use Django for a small website? (lemmy.world)

I basically want to make a small personal website that probably won't get any attention. It will also be somewhat simple. Is Django overkill and I should use Flask or something else or is it okay? I tried learning JS and using ExpressJS but JS overall feels very loosely typed and I don't like it. I've been using Python for over 3 years now.

Do you want a website or a webapp? Website, just stick with nginx + wordpress or something. If you actually want to write a webapp, then django should be fine. I have also used fastapi which was very easy to start with. If it's a personal web app, then the performance will never really be a problem (unless it grows into something more). So I would pick whatever you can find example code for, and just run with it.
