What is a good free alternative to Wordpress that requires little coding?

I have basic notions of HTML and CSS, but nearly zero JS knowledge. I can perform simple customizations and I know how to follow instructions.

It is not my intention to create anything from scratch (so the platform should have plenty of free themes), nor do I want to become a webdev or webdesigner. This is not a technical project for me, my main concern is the content.

I currently have a blog that uses Wordpress with a purchased theme. It's good enough, but a bit slow to load. Besides, simpler platforms might be easier to understand and manipulate.

This alternative would also need to be FOSS and easy to self-host.

As a plus, it would be awesome if I could manage the blog/website from within Emacs/Org Mode.

Any ideas?
