Are there benefits to hosting your own personal lemmy? (lemmy.world)

Slowly exploring the lemmy ecosystem, since I don't want to use reddit, and was wondering if selfhosting would be a good idea?

Nginx, for example, is widely used as a reverse proxy

I use it as reverse proxy already. Why do I need to install a reverse proxy for Lemmy?

If all you’re running is lemmy then why are you so upset about containers “cluttering” up things?

That’s the thing: i don’t.

But maybe I should get a real or virtual machine used exclusively for Lemmy and adding its Docker environment to my current Portainer installation.

You don't. Configure the one you already have and just remove that entry from your docker-compose. This is exactly why they're handled as separate containers.

And by “configuring” you mean nothing more than simply setting up the connection from example.com:443 to the machine and exposed port? That would at least solve 1 out of 5 issues I have … :)
