What are some google photos alternatives? I'm aware of Ente (not European), crypt.ee and zeitkapsl (saw someone mention it uses google apis). Also don't fancy going down the self-hosting route for the moment.

I used Jottacloud in 2016-2017 and loved it. A couple of months ago I started using Proton which has photos backup+cloud just like Jottacloud but more recently I started self hosting Immich and I love it!

Mainly the beauty of selfhosting. Also it has map features if your photos are geotagged, also facial recognition so you can categorize/group photos by people's faces. Also it gives you memories for any specific day.

Google Photos has a great search engine – I can look up “dog” and it will find all the photos with a dog in them, or search for a place and find all the shots from there. You can select a face in one photo, and it will find all the photos of that person.
The albums are awesome too, since you can share them so all invited people can add their own photos. Perfect for weddings, birthday parties, and events in general.
