Is anyone aware of a #FLOSS alternative to #Google #Photos for mobile? What I'm looking for is a way to access the photos from the collection on my home server from a phone with a reasonably convenient interface and such.

Corrolary: I currently use #Digikam to organize my photos, but something with facial recognition that isn't terrible would be nice.

I've been doing some research on that topic a while ago, but never got into really trying things out. For the server side https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism looks quite good. There appears to be WebDAV support (https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/sync/webdav/), so it should be possible to use something open, although the recommended PhotoSync mobile app appears to not be free software (https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/sync/mobile-devices/).
Besides that, https://github.com/LibrePhotos might be worth a look, but I haven't tried that either.
