If you want to selfhost in general and/or to have control over your content, yes. If you want to explore photos and find new content you are probably better off joining one of the bigger communities.
Ah, so similar to the issues with finding content on a single user Mastodon instance :(
I think the biggest leap forward for the Fediverse would be making content more discoverable. Just not sure how that would be done.
The other problem for a single user instance would be that anything you post is basically shouting into the void unless people follow you. At least with Lemmy you can post to other instances/communities.
Actually that's not a problem on mastodon, as you can always add some relays and automatically fill up your federation timeline.
Ah, right. I’d set up some relays already, but I didn’t realize that it also shared your public posts with other instances subscribed to the relay.
