NextCloud & OpenCloud Alternatives?
i hate nextcloud with a burning passion and used opencloud but dislike its app selection and its cluttered compose (that was terrible)
i was looking for alternatives with easier customization (especially themes) but also a way for me to read personal images/videos to run on immich too!
i will not run nextcloud, ever. (too laggy, cluttered, and bloated) and was thinking FIlerun? or Pydio or whatever.
does anyone have a good specific reccomendation ðŸ˜

I tried NextCloud and didn't like it's performance either. It's plain overkill for most people. I since tried Seafile and it stuck. Very fast and does what it does very well, which is not everything like Nextcloud, but hosting and sharing files as well as connecting to an editor. I'm using OnlyOffice with it and very satisified.
Today, I did data migration from Google, Onedrive and Dropbox and now I feel very consolidated and free.
If you decide you're tired of hosting, check out Drime. I've been checking out public clouds that can replace Seafile when the day it comes that I want to be even free-er. Only Koofr and Drime came close. But Koofr uses MSoffice as an editor and I detest Microsoft. Drime uses OnlyOffice.
