I get it's the pretty normal to go through fixing bugs, but for a backup solution the core of it should be stable or I would not use it

Try it. Adopt it. :)
Just a few weeks ago, facial recognition was added and that was it for me. I finally made the switch from Google Photos and iCloud to immich. It's your self-hosted google photos alternative, with image recognition, a map, sharing folders publicly, or with other users on your server.
Some parts will be buggy though, like face detection, or memories. But the whole "backup & sync" part is very reliable, I've never had any issues.

#4I guess the Github description/HN title is incomplete, it's curious that it's saying it's a backup solution, but what is visible is an web-based photo browser... yeah yeah I get it, just like Google Photos (i.e. App-Which-Must-Not-Be-Named according to the docs[1]), the web viewer is part of the package...
I guess it needs a better description, IMO a project with several big components (web, mobile, backend) sells itself short being named just "backup solution".

#6This looks incredible with the local search and context awareness. Curious if there is a comparison to other tools like photoprism about the advantages of Immich

In addition to the mobile app which works like google photos and backs up photos you take automatically, you can also:
- Upload via the webUI
- Import a folder of photos on the host (copies photos to the Immich directory)
- Add a folder of photos on the host (leaves photos in place)

Due to machine learning / face recognition.
