My wife is using Google Photos, and I’ve been using Photoprism for a few months. I just had a baby, and I access to download the pictures that my wife takes. I’m not too sure of what I want. I guess I want two separate libraries, but I want to be able to view her pictures easily and add them into my library. I believe if I spin up a second photoprism instance, I’d have to download her pictures individually and reupload them into my instance.
What do any of you do? Do you even host photo storage for your family?
Do you want it federated or no? If you want it federated, go for Pixelfed. If not, check out Immich.
Pixelfeds album feature is terrible.
Oh I had no idea. I was thinking of standing an instance up to explore it.
I was looking for something better than sharing pictures four at a time on Mastodon and checked out Pixelfed. I don’t understand it at all. It’s like the system is designed around sharing individual pictures. Even when an instance allows sharing a few pictures at once, other users will only see the first picture because multiple pictures is obviously an afterthought for the UI. Maybe it’s because I am too old and I want Flickr instead of Instagram. I’m still posting pictures up to four at a time on Mastodon.
Yeah exactly, I want federated flick, not Instagram.
Is Pixelfed for image storage, or is it more like Instagram?
It’s probably more like instagram.
Can you run pixelfed without federation?
Yeah you can.
That’s a good question. I am not really certain.
But then it’s Instagram without users. Maybe pointless unless some specific edge cases
