Immich is a very promising app.
Right now it's probably the most ambitious in terms of functionality, and a lot of people recommend it as an alternative to Google Photos.
However since it's still in Beta, if you use it, be sure to have a backup of those photos somewhere else. Just in case.
Immich as well, since they added the ability to share albums with a public link it has all the functionality I needed.
agreed. just got my family to join my instance and add their photos so we can make albums. I ran into issues uploading photos initially, but i guess 8000 photos/videos would tax any system
I’m using photoprism. It closest to Synology photos. I use nextcloud to automatically upload the pictures but photoprism to view and share them.
I use Nextcloud Memories and auto-upload from my phone's photo folders. I love it. I don't mind the lack of a dedicated app.
I like Photostructure as a way to browse my photos. It does logical deduping, and automatic organization of your photos (if you want it to). Like some others mentioned in this thread, it's a very young software, but the developer is very active and transparent about the progress.
Edit to add link: photostructure.com
I'm using photoprism until Immich matures. Keep hearing good things about Immich
Loving immich. For what it does.
there is another thread about photos. check out

Edit: ummm fediverse boo boo. I needed the actual link to the comm, not from perspective. I also have the wrong link!

Hmm, will have to think about how I copy posts.
Seems to be a link to this thread?
I searched on the perth chat lemmy instance and found these though:
