    I’ve been trialing some similar apps and none of them really fully satisfy me, including immich. Mostly because they all make it clunky to exclude some photos from showing up, or indexing being slow as hell and not particularly good at removing photos I recently ignored, deleted or moved. Immich in particular is bad with the ignore part. I wish I could edit a text block that defined ignore rules like a gitignore, but instead you have to add each rule separately in the UI. Then it feels very slow to add thumbnails for raw files and slow to index period. So many of these apps seem to me like they fumbled the ball just short of a touchdown because otherwise the featuresets seem nice.

    I have tried damselfly, immich, libre photos, photo prism, and I tried to configure nextcloud memories but I could not even get it running. It seemed pretty complicated and picky about its setup.










  • I was trying to also communicate cheekily, also in my case to reinforce the stark difference in our experiences. I understood you.

    I can relate to a few points you are making to some degree. I think my view of slack is largely shaped by having to use Skype and then hipchat for a company I used to work for. Both of those were absolutely shit. In fact if I just read your description of slack issues out of context, I might think you’re talking about hipchat. That fucking thing was the worst I’d used at the time. It was common to not get notifications or messages and the UI was dog shit too. Slack kind of resolved all the issues I saw in hipchat and mostly improved over time. But clearly not everyone felt the same. I’ve never used Matrix, maybe someday I’ll check it out.

    We can agree on discord. Never for one moment have I understood the UI, and every time I used it I pretty much always had mic detection problems. And that was on Mac, windows, Linux, native, and web app (even when trying in various browsers).
