What are the benefits of self-hosting wefwef? (self.wefwef)

I’d like to run a private or possibly a public installation? Will self-hosting improve app performance and reduce errors?

Yes. Whoever is hosting the app is acting as a proxy for everyone that is using that hosted version. If 1,000 people are using wefwef.app it is acting as a proxy for 1,000 people and could be rate limited by the Lemmy instance. If you are hosting your own wefwef then it’s just you connecting to the Lemmy instance.

Thanks. That’s certainly a very compelling reason to self-host.
