I am a fan of Immich but know nothing about Synology. Does Synology have a subscription or something? Immich has done a much better job at tagging things and putting them in to albums than Apple’s Photos ever did for me, it took the stuff that Apple had tagged and than did a much better job.
a lot of the posts about Immich are a few years old. has it improved?
What a question... :D
Anyway: YES.
I'd go as far as to say, it's infamous state of being fragile as fuck, every update is a breaking change and needing to read every changelog before updating is a bit outdated.
But they are still working on it quite a bit.
I've used it for a few years and it is an excellent application. I used Synology Photos for about a day before moving on.
Their first "stable" release was 6 months ago and they are currently working on the next major version #, so yeah, focus on recent posts only or the info will be out of date.
I decided to stick with Synology. Too many moving parts and it's writing for me right now.
I only really started getting deep into self hosting when the orange guy started threatening to make Canada the 51st state. So that is when I found immich, not sure how far I was into Lemmy when I found it but I have no complaints.
