Should I switch from Synology Photos to Immich? (lemmy.world)

I have spent a long time at Synology Photos, along with my family. We have tags and albums. Is there a good way to migrate? I'm even open to migrating manually (album by album) if I could trust the process.

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being fragile as fuck, every update is a breaking change and needing to read every changelog before updating is a bit outdated.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.

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.

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ago and they are currently working on the next major version #, so yeah, focus on recent posts only or the info will be out of date.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.
