Good day everyone. I've been looking for a solution to host my photos/images, containing 100+ year old photos from a small island community and it's inhabitants.

More specifically, I'm looking for a solution which allows pleasent browsing and viewing of the albums and the photos within, and has labels/fig text for each photo.

I've looked into Pixelfed, as it seems to be easily integratable with other fedi services and can be self hosted (fedi integration is not a must), but found that while it has collections, the photos within cannot be easily traversed. Similarly, it has albums, but those do not have a proper overview and appear to lack per-image-text.

If Pixelfed had a way to enable the ease of navigating the images in an album to the collections, such as moving to the next image in the collection by use of arrow keys (or simply a link) instead of having to go to the collection overview and clicking on the next image, then it would be ideal, but I have not been able to achieve this so far.

What kind of solutions are you using for sharing old or interesting albums of photos on the internet which require explanation?

It appears that the Flickr Commons initiative is specifically for companies and organizations, and sadly not for individuals.

I've been looking a little into Flickr, and it appears that there exist some similar solutions named Piwigo and Media Goblin which I'm currently checking out.

Thank you for the heads up!
