I run my own instance, the benefit is privacy and reliability. Everything is controlled on your own server. You also aren’t reliant on someone else running an instance that could go down at any time, either permanently or an outage. Been a problem with Lemmy.ml recently.

Lemmy instances seem to have trouble seeing content from kbin instances for some reason.

Lemmy is FOSS so I don’t really think the political views of the developers have much impact.

Is there an alternative here on Lemmy?

Yeah that’s what Lemmy started out as. The thing is with all the Reddit refugees flooding in it is diluting out the tankies. Besides, lemmygrad.ml is blocked by many instances. As for the values of the devs the great thing is that Lemmy is FOSS so if they go rouge someone will just make a fork of Lemmy.

He just publicly admitted Reddit is not profitable and he’s mad that third party apps are. That IPO is not going to go well lol.
