Personally I use Google Photos for that. It's better than Apple Photos cause there's native apps for both iOS and Android, and its web-interface is just as fully featured as the native apps, unlike Apple Photos' web interface that's kind of just a stripped down stream of recently added photos.

Yeah, that is a good solution too. I have tried to avoid Google Photos for some of the same reasons I avoid FB, but I think it is still a huge improvement over FB. Although Gphotos is not too hard to set up, I was compelled when my 82 year old aunt could figure out the stock Photos app herself. No Google account required.

Also, you can view iCloud photo albums over the web too (although I don't think you can comment if you're not loggid in / on a iP([ao]d|hone)!

Back in the pre-FB era, I used the PHP Gallery app. It was so hot at the time--I was the only one with a photo sharing site at my own domain.

For a sort of intermediate approach, there is also Nextcloud Gallery for folks who want their stuff hosted on their terms but with (modern-ish) access and sharing controls. There's also iOS and Android Apps

IMO, if you really are worried about Facebook you should be equally worried about Google.
