  • In addition to that,

    • I like the challenge of leaning new technologies and hosting my own web apps
    • It lets me feel that I have a bit more control over my user and posts
    • I get my own vanity domain / user address
    • I get a good understanding of how the lemmy frontend, backend and database work (yay open-source!)
    • I can keep my instance up to date with the latest lemmy releases (some are still running 0.17.3!)
    • I can do some dev work and testing on my instance, if I want, without impacting others
    • it reduces load on the main instances

    There’s more, but I think that’s a good enough list for now. Have a nice day!
