Is there any benefit to host my own instance?

    So if I made my own Lemmy instance, and subscribed to !selfhosted, does that mean if Lemmy.world went down, the !selfhosted community is still up?

      Yesterday I saw a beehaw (I think) community thread which got locked by the beehaw mods but because it was federated ppl on other instances could still comment. I think !selfhosted would be still be up on your instance if lemmy.world went down.
