Is anyone here using NextCloud for extended family chat/photo/whatever?

Thoughts?

EDIT: Primary needs are a fall-off-log easy chat and photo sharing system in one app that is available on apple and android.

Current family chat is sms/rcs that inexplicably randomly splits the group chat into subgroups and confuses everyone. Investigated Matrix already and it's too fragile / complicated to try moving them to.

No photo editing needed, no voice/video chats, no shared calendars etc. I'm now thinking next cloud is too heavy for this.

EDIT 2: Found a list of things to investigate

We use immich for photos and really like it. Nc photos was not so nice instead, sync from mobile was unreliable.

NC we use for files, contacts and calendar. And signal for chat.

BTW: Matrix is just the protocol, which clients did you investigate?
