For those in the #fediverse familiar with the #redditmigration and #lemmy, is there any point in spinning up my own instance? For example, for #Mastodon, the benefit of hosting my own, is my own domain name and being able to federate with other servers that the big ones have blocked. Though, from my understanding, hosting my own Lemmy would be like making my own subreddit? Or am I misunderstanding how it works? #Reddit

They do, but its easily solved by just making your block list private.
The bigger issue is that it is not uncommon for people to block instances **solely** on the basis of it being a single user instance. I've seen this happen a few times.
