Hey everyone, I'm hoping to find a self hosted and hopefully FOSS alternative to flickr for photo organization and viewing

The sharing with friends part isn't important

What we're looking for is a way to store collections of photos, organized and viewable the same way as Flickr

This person takes a ton of photos all the time but they want a place to store the best/only the highlights/their favourites, organized into albums by destination/location/vacation and most importantly easily viewable to reminisce about the good times

They used to use Flickr for this until it wasn't free anymore

Immich is more of a personal camera roll app, modeled after Google Photos. You can make albums and share them publicly but it wasn't meant as a public photo gallery.

It can work if the emphasis is on self-organization but it's quite limited due to the fact it insists on merging everything into a single photo stream and forces you to use its albums to split it back up again.

There's no way unfortunately to have multiple photo streams per user (unless you're willing to juggle multiple user accounts).
