I think Pixelfed is pretty good! Just started using the beta on iOS one or 2 months ago, and I have to say the software has been getting better pretty quickly. Plus, it's easy to start, even when you know no-one nice pictures pop up just like this :)
Photography
I'm into photography so I made this community to share some of my work and see what everyone else is doing.
Rules

I love how it’s such a small community creating it all part-time. When/if I get more time I hope to contribute and help it grow even more.
replacing google photos is on my long list of services I want to self host... just time and brain cycles required.
Hardware is easy for me, software, not so much.
Have you heard of PhotoPrism?
its on the list, my big hold up is it seems silly to spin up 9 different SQL databases when I could just spin up one on a container and then have all my different services attached to that. But each service like Nextcloud, photoprism, lemmy... w/e seem to have different prefered database servers.
I like to keep environments separate just in case one is corrupted or compromised.
