I'm into photography so I made this community to share some of my work and see what everyone else is doing.

What are you all using to show off your photos? (self.photography)

I refuse to use Instagram; however, I've been looking at https://pixelfed.org/. I'm thinking of either joining a server or starting my own. I bought the domain https://social.photo (nothing on it yet). I'm not a fan of any of the current names, and I'm looking for something more professional sounding to use.

Is there anything you use besides Lemmy and this community to share?

I think Pixelfed is pretty good! Just started using the beta on iOS one or 2 months ago, and I have to say the software has been getting better pretty quickly. Plus, it's easy to start, even when you know no-one nice pictures pop up just like this :)

I love how it’s such a small community creating it all part-time. When/if I get more time I hope to contribute and help it grow even more.

replacing google photos is on my long list of services I want to self host... just time and brain cycles required.

Hardware is easy for me, software, not so much.

Have you heard of PhotoPrism?

[–] infinitevalence 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

its on the list, my big hold up is it seems silly to spin up 9 different SQL databases when I could just spin up one on a container and then have all my different services attached to that. But each service like Nextcloud, photoprism, lemmy... w/e seem to have different prefered database servers.

I like to keep environments separate just in case one is corrupted or compromised.
