I'm not using it at the moment. But what would be the benefit of self hosting?
Currently the benefit is not sending your credentials and other requests through wefwef.app and avoiding throttling. If you value privacy self hosting is a good idea. If you trust wefwef, then the only other reason is to customize/develop wefwef.
After CORS fix in Lemmy is done and wefwef updates your requests should go directly to Lemmy servers so privacy concerns are mitigated.
