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.
What are you using for your photos and why?

Immich is a very promising app.
Right now it's probably the most ambitious in terms of functionality, and a lot of people recommend it as an alternative to Google Photos.
However since it's still in Beta, if you use it, be sure to have a backup of those photos somewhere else. Just in case.

agreed. just got my family to join my instance and add their photos so we can make albums. I ran into issues uploading photos initially, but i guess 8000 photos/videos would tax any system

Immich as well, since they added the ability to share albums with a public link it has all the functionality I needed.

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.

I like Photostructure as a way to browse my photos. It does logical deduping, and automatic organization of your photos (if you want it to). Like some others mentioned in this thread, it's a very young software, but the developer is very active and transparent about the progress.
Edit to add link: photostructure.com

I'm using photoprism until Immich matures. Keep hearing good things about Immich

Ah, this is one of those new fediverse issues. My links are from my lemmy perspective.
Hmm, will have to think about how I copy posts.

I think immich and photoPrism are the best options at the moment
