For those unfamiliar, Immich is a self-hosted photo and video manager, similar to Google Photos, etc.
In the short time I’ve been using Immich, they’ve already more or less addressed my main concern, which was around shared albums. Now all I really need is for the option to display select shared albums in a user’s main feed.
Some key changes from this version that I thought were neat:
We are very pleased to release the next big milestone towards better sharing: people can now be shared!
As a user you can share people with another user in your cluster group
Lastly, by allowing cross-user merging, you can now merge a face from your own assets with people shared with you from other users. This is especially helpful if you didn’t want to re-run facial recognition after joining a cluster group before. Now, after setting up bi-directional sharing, users can manually link people together.
In an effort of making Immich more joyful to use, we are introducing memories for people’s birthdays.
If it’s the birthday of a person in your library, Immich will now celebrate that with a special memory featuring previous birthdays.
After a long list of optimizations, ML is both significantly faster and uses less memory. This affects every backend, including CPU inference. However, the level of improvement varies by model and backend. Cases where certain backends (such as OpenVINO) produced wrong outputs at times should be resolved.
Immich is amazing
They already released 3.3.1
As is tradition.
“It is a great day for Canada, and therefore the rest of the world!” 🗣️
Finally people can be shared, me and my wife have obviously the same people in our pictures but we have to seperatelly tag them, etc.
I would love to not only share the people metadata but also all pictures where they are tagged.
Usecases: the grandparents always ask for pictures of their grandchildren. I do not want todo partner sharing with them, but I would be fine to automatically share all pictures that include their face. Bonus: only share pictures where a combination of people are tagged (e.g. grandparents+grandchildren)
This will be possible when they add a workflow trigger “person detected”, that could be used to move assets with specific persons into a shared album
The one feature I’m still waiting for is manual ordering in albums. Sometimes the ‘date taken’ just doesn’t tell the story right.
Memories is a great feature, this would be a deal breaker for my partner.
I’m excited for memories as well, but I’m not sure you’re using the phrase deal breaker correctly here haha.
The lack of memories would be a deal breaker for them to use immich. They love getting weekly generated clips of what was done this time last year or ten years ago
The regular memories feature has already existed for a while. This update just releases birthday memories as an upgrade.
I’ve really appreciated them, its a really cool way to see photos you may not otherwise look at.
External hdd with manual backups, otherwise left at friends house.
I don’t see immich on there, why did you post this?
FUTO sponsors immich I guess, FUTO is on there. FUTO is problematic but as far as anyone can tell, they haven’t pushed anything on immich.
TBH, this GitHub discussion does not look good on Immich :(
I read the whole thing. This seems like standard sponsored response of not biting the hand that feeds them now that they are full time…
The entire point 3 of the user complaint is reaching really far. The one user is being toxic through the whole thread so I also get from their side not wanting to heavily engage because nothing besides divebombing immich’s entire livelihood would satisfy them it seems.
FUTO seems like a toxic company, but the thread isn’t damning. It seems like we have to keep an eye on immich. Otherwise a fork I guess…
I agree, the thread is not damning and I also don’t think that the maintainer(s?) are bad people or whatever. But IMHO they should be called out on this “I dont want to be political” bullshit because this is basically saying “I don’t care about others as long as I am not directly affected”. This may be not their intention, but ath the end of the day this behavior enables all the Trumps and Putins in this world to do what they do in the first place.
And the lemmy devs are tankies.
Just a list without aynthing else looks bad
Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:
Fewer Letters More Letters Git Popular version control system, primarily for code NAS Network-Attached Storage ZFS Solaris/Linux filesystem focusing on data integrity
3 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 4 acronyms.

@new_otters_raft What I miss, is a way to share an Album as webdav.
This would help in several ways.
