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

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

Thanks. I get that self hosting means my creds won’t pass through wefwef’s servers, but does it also help with rate limiting?

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.
