What are the incentives for hosting a Lemmy instance? - eviltoast

The primary incentive that comes to mind is improved availability. Often, instances can become slow, so I use another. By hosting a local instance I could always have a smooth experience.

Scores are federated, resulting in a consistent global feed across instances and a lack of uniqueness for each instance. I wish hosting an instance provided a more customized experience like this. It would be a great incentive.

    A more broad incentive is just participating in and helping the decentralized community.
