The benefit for you is that you will be in a low traffic instance. All the content you load will be loaded from that instance, not lemmy.world. So for you the content loads faster.

Like, I'm replying to you from lemmygrad.ml, and I'm never actually connecting to lemmy.world, and no content is loaded in real time from Lemmy.world. this comment will be synced back to lemmy.world and then synced out to everyone else that's subscribed.

But if 90% of people are on Lemmy.world then naturally it's going to run like ass.
