Copying this from Reddit (I still get the daily emails). Since I no longer post there, I figured I would ask here, and include my prediction: Will be more popular, possibly in stable release. Still won’t be able to rotate photos natively.

    I tried it briefly, but when I realized I could not easily sync a bunch of my pictures from server to new phone, I lost interest and went back to syncthing

      Just out of curiosity, what’s the use case for having all your photos actually on the phone as opposed to remote access from your phone?

        If the internet disappears or you lose access to it for some reason, you can still see your photos.

          You can survive a day trip without access to your photos. We managed just fine before smartphones brought that practice into the mainstream.

        Backup, redundancy, easy access… If my server goes down I don’t have the time to fix it at the moment.

        Also the photos app on my phone is quite good, so I find it very easy to find old pictures quickly.

        I also prefer offline-capable solutions

      You can still use Syncthing to pull photos back to the phone, Immich just stores them in organized directories as normal files.
