Very happy Ente user here! It’s a great alternative to Google Photos and Immich (since I think photos are too important to self-host).
They have an easy guide for migrating from Google Photos (basically they can import a Takeout export directly).
https://ente.io/faq/migration/from-google-photos/
I’ve got it installed on my phone with automatic backups enabled. It had no issues with duplicates from both Takeout and the existing photos on my phone. (I even did the upload twice due to running out of space the first time, and there were no dupes). The app has a pretty similar design to Google Photos, so it feels familiar. It also supports Google’s version of “live photos”.
You can create links to share albums or individual photos, and you can also add people to your plan.
I enabled the local machine learning analysis and, while it’s not perfect, it does make for a pretty nice searching experience.
Preach! I need all my keyboard shortcuts, dammit.
I prefer just about every third-party UI to the official one…
Don’t forget Playlet for Roku!
is anyone aware of how to properly link comments on lemmy?
As far as I know, there is no way right now. There’s some discussion of having a more agnostic identifier here, but seemingly no movement yet.

The best you can get right now is using an extension like Instance Assistant for Lemmy, but that only helps you, not the person you’re responding to.
That said, if you use a mobile app (I use Thunder) it will usually handle post/comment links in-app, so it doesn’t matter what instance they link to.
Not yet. They’re supposedly “working on it”. This is the feature I’m most looking forward to.
Win+Pause/Break opens properties of your PC (on Windows obviously).
Or Thunder!
A Roku stick requires the Roku streaming service to be functioning to be useful.
That’s not true at all. You could use a Roku with only Plex/Jellyfin and it would be immensely useful.
Thunderbird with the conversations add-on. It’s a game-changer that makes it much easier to transition from Gmail.
Looks like mostly C++.
Ente it you’re looking for a paid service. (For me, photos are too important to self-host.) They’re end-to-end encrypted and both server and clients are open source.
I see it more like the browser group wanted it to be a ‘real’ browser and not held down by having to be compliant with the hobby OS. But that’s just my reading from the outside. :)
They mentioned being more open to OSS packages, which probably wouldn’t work on Serenity.
Lol it’s not a link in the markdown so it’s just the Lemmy web UI making assumptions. Also it’s funny that they don’t own that domain.
Didn’t they recently get bought by Canva? Not saying that’s a good or bad thing, but it’s something to keep in mind.
I think migrating is the hardest part. My email history has a lot of important records and notes that I don’t want to lose.
By the way, I recommend checking out this video, which makes a great point that email is inherently insecure, regardless of the provider you choose.
Personally I don’t trust myself with self-hosting something as important as photos. It would probably be fine, but I’m willing to pay for someone else to manage the infrastructure.
