...if you're migrating your photos from Apple iCloud to #Immich (or #Pixelunion) be aware that Immich will delete meta-data - and will not notify you of this. I can understand if they can't migrate all metadata (yet?), but not notifying users of this is just bad design / plain wrong of course 👎🏼

Wrote a blog post: Getting my photos Google-free - how to easily move from Google Photos to @pixelunion@mastodon.social and host your photo albums in Europe. It's a short guide on how and why it was totally worth it, plus an overview of PixelUnion's features. https://rolle.design/google-photos-to-pixelunion #Photos #Privacy #GooglePhotos #PixelUnion #Google #GoogleFree #DeGoogle #BigTech #Europe #Immich

It took me about 2 days to transfer over 250 GB of photos from Google Photos to @pixelunion@mastodon.social. Now my photos are safe and sound in Europe. The face recognition works even better than Google's, and Immich is an awesome piece of software. I would have hosted this entirely on my own like my Nextcloud, but paying a couple of bucks for 450 GB of storage and a fast server is a real bargain and saves me the hassle. Well done, PixelUnion! #Privacy #Photos #GooglePhotos #PixelUnion #Immich
