Congrats and huge thanks.

Been a user since over 1 year and it has been more than amazing. Progress was unbelievable. Features I was hoping would exist but never would have thought I would ever see them, like album sync, were added in short time.

I've replaced Apple Photos with Immich (from iCloud to self-hosted) and this was one of the important things to transfer. I'm completely de-Appled now and Immich was part of the journey.

I use Immich and it's fantastic. All other self-hosted alternatives I I've used have been lacking in one way or another, but Immich is a joy to use. Fast, featureful, easy to set up. I love it so much I gave them $100 to support them.

After stopping for years because it was hard to view them easily, I'm finally taking photos again because of Immich.

Out of curiosity, have you bought the "supporter" upgrade?

I haven't heard of this app before, so I looked around their site and docs. I was mildly interested in trying it out until I saw the requirements: "A system with at least 4GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores.", but recommended 6 GB of RAM. Why does an image storage solution needs so much RAM?

Because it wants to recognize objects in you images.

If you just need an image storage solution: no, but then you don't need Immich. If you want the feature Immich offers: yes

The last time I tried Immich (a year ago or so), my impression was that Immich tries to imitate Google Photos as much as possible. This includes features such as searching by a person or by "cat", which requires some machine learning sophistication, which is done locally (you can also disable these features). This would be my guess, but I'm not entirely sure.
