Is there any benefit to host my own instance?

In my navigation of the fediverse the last few days I've noticed a few people running instances of mastodon and lemmy with just themselves or 1 or 2 other people etc.

If you into tinkering and selfhosting, why not :D Means you're in full control of what other instances you federate with/can see etc.
