Been out of the game for about a decade, just wondering what platform everyone uses to share digital albums/event photography with friends and family?
Back in the day imgur, Picasa, 500px and flickr were viable options for the hobbiest but it seems they either no longer exist or are now very, very expensive for low volume nonprofessional sharing
Two ways:
- I got annoyed after years of being a slow mess, I finally had enough of deviantART and started designing my own HTML/CSS landing page, started exporting galleries from digiKam, linked it together on the landing page and uploaded it on a webhotel.
It is extremely quick and easy to navigate, but I only share the URL in a more private manner.
- Pixelfed, I run the account @[email protected] it is decently fast and people are engaging.
I selfhost Lychee for personal and professional work.
Apart from a small donation I made to the team, I just pay for the electricity and keep my data private.
Why do you choose Lychee over Immich? Does it have features you prefer?
I went a slightly different selfhosted route: I made a website with Public CMS. It’s WYSIWYG, simple and straightforward, and just goes to my existing stuff anyway.
For private things its usually a Google photos album or folder.
I use a combination of flickr, ente.io, glass.photo, portraitmode.io.
