The main thing to me was that since this runs on Nextcloud its more extensible as the photos are just stored under the files and you can use various other apps to do what your heart desires. The other aspect is you get your own Gdrive alternative. You may or may not want this.
For mobile compatibility Nextcloud is better since you can choose which folder photos go to and you can essentially automatically backup albums whereas with Immich you can't automatically specify which album photos from a directory should go [1].
In addition to this, Immich isn't too stable yet and each time you update the server all clients have to be on the latest version, at least since the last time I used Immich.

Does it have search by keywords/semantics? That would be my main need. For example if I need to find photos of cacti I could just search for that.
OpenAI open sourced CLIP a couple of years ago: https://github.com/openai/CLIP and I was planning to write something myself to index my vast photo library but got too lazy and gave up.
I have been using https://www.photoprism.app for a couple of years, and it works better than expected, with the latest updates it's actually quite fast and the face tagging works reasonably well.
