I'm not using it at the moment. But what would be the benefit of self hosting?

The other day wefwef.app hit api limits on lemmy.world so nothing was loading for awhile. The dev recommended selfhosting if you were able to go avoid these shutdowns.

Another benefit would be that your selfhosting instance would theoretically be available even if wefwef.app was down for some reason or another.

Thanks, that sounds intriguing. I guess I need an API key?

Nope, just install it and you're off to the races!
