Is it better than NC?
If you use Nextcloud, install the App Memories and you will have the same functions as Immich plus all the upload functions of Nextcloud.
But if you are not interested in all the Nextcloud functionalities (including contact and calendar sync, musicserver, filesharing, etc) and just want picture management, Immich is the better choice.
That's exactly what I have, and that's exactly what I wanted ... DARN ... oh well. I guess it's nice to have the document sync as well
Never used NC but this just works.
