Currently the benefit is not sending your credentials and other requests through wefwef.app and avoiding throttling. If you value privacy self hosting is a good idea. If you trust wefwef, then the only other reason is to customize/develop wefwef.

After CORS fix in Lemmy is done and wefwef updates your requests should go directly to Lemmy servers so privacy concerns are mitigated.
