I don't think people on this sub use it, but it's great news for us. The worse it gets the likelier people move on.

I mean with next cloud and immich it doesn't really matter if they are popular. Those are services that you host for yourself for you to use generally by yourself.

Immich I could see someone using if they're already familiar with Google photos, so long as someone else handled the setup and maintenance of it of course

Selfhosted services like Nextcloud/Immich aren't nearly as dependent on a critical user mass like Discord/Matrix, but the principle is the same.

If you host for family or friends, they may even use it if you convince them to switch. But when the setup, which doesn't consist of redundant instances and isn't maintained by a small army of SysAdmins 24/7, inevitably breaks for longer than a few minutes, most will switch back to the easy, reliable option.
