Do you like... Get a drink and sit back and watch a slide show of classic memes and reflect on the simpler times?
Not OP, and haven't done that (yet), but I think we really all should.
https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/index.html is a file-management application written for internet-fluent media nerds who have large file collections. It browses with tags instead of folders […]
I've seen this idea floated before a few times, and it's a thought I've had before myself--some sort of self-hosted version of gify. AFAIK nothing exists as of writing, but I've seen this idea crop up enough times that maybe there's a demand for this sort of thing.
Personally, I just have a well-organized meme folder that I sync between my client devices with syncthing, but something a little more integrated and easier to search might be fun.
Not sure what your exact requirements are, but these three should work great as simple upload and share embed link type servers :0
Lychee: My personal choice even for my entire photo library since I just like things to be simple
Pellicola: Self discribed as "Pastebin for your photos"
Media Goblin: Lets you view more then just photos, might replace my lychee for non-photography use
Have you looked at the memories app in nextcloud? Much better for image viewing
I've found tagging is crucial for images of any kind.
Then any app that supports tagging can easily find things by your tags.
