I am gradually moving everything to self hosted, and I want to move away from Google Photos. I currently have Nextcloud and sync seems to mostly work, but the default interface seems a bit lacking.
I have tried a few things a while ago (~6 months), but things seem to change quickly.
At the moment, I quite like Nextcloud Memories. It has a similar interface to Google Photos and seems to have relatively quick photo caching, and integrates well with nextcloud. However it doesn’t have a real app and lacks of offline viewing so haven’t fully transistioned yet.

I’m using photoprism. It closest to Synology photos. I use nextcloud to automatically upload the pictures but photoprism to view and share them.
I use Nextcloud Memories and auto-upload from my phone’s photo folders. I love it. I don’t mind the lack of a dedicated app.
