Okay, it's actually 18955 at the time of this post. I'm looking at https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list and lemmy.world has already passed beehaw.org by a large margin for second place.

Can't wait for this place to start filling out!

UPDATE: 5 minutes after the post, it's now 19061. Officially more than 19000!

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!
