For today's #digitalindependenceday I took on moving my entire photo collection from Google to my recently set-up, self-hosted #Immich instance.
I'm proud to say I #DIDit ;)

I'd be interested in what service-swaps other people managed today so feel welcome to comment if you'd like to share your own #DiDay project ☺️

@Tamigoesgreen great, congrats 👏🥳
The mind-blowing thing to me is: immich actually works waaayy better than Google Photos in terms of people tagging etc. Plus you get so many more options to customise the experience 🤩

How's the switch from iCloud to immich?

Hard work in Progress 😭 because you just can Download 1000 Images from iCloud at once. So I have a Little more work to do

@Tamigoesgreen oh no, that sounds really annoying :/
I at least managed to get a Google Photos takeout and then upload it via immich-go, but downloading the takeout also took ages because Google duplicates pictures/videos for every album they are in 💀
