Is there any benefit to host my own instance?

Yeah, I'm running on an instance of just me and my wife, biggest downside is needing to subscribe to communities before we get content, but its sooo much faster.

I almost think this is a blessing because you don't get so overwhelmed with stuff you don't care about and only see what you're looking for. But yes the UI for it is not very good yet.

I've taken to just blocking the more popular communities I don't care about, like sports stuff

Once I subbed to a few things now it seems my all feed gets content from servers and communities I'm not subscribed too. Just took a bit. Mostly from smaller foreign ones right now tho.
