Are there benefits to hosting your own personal lemmy? (lemmy.world)

Slowly exploring the lemmy ecosystem, since I don't want to use reddit, and was wondering if selfhosting would be a good idea?

Not the OP, but can you move your account to a private instance or is it not possible at the moment?

It's not possible at the moment. Lemmy devs acknowledged it was a widely requested feature but last I read, they were focused on maintaining the performance of Lemmy during the spike of users during the great Reddit migration.
