Hosting own instance (lemmy.world)

I want to help fediverse by hosting own instance. I dont have plans to build community, it will be for caching reasons. Does it make any sense?

For example, if I run loop instance, I will reshare stories through my instance, the content will be downloaded from my node, not the parent one. Am I right?

Hosting my own as well as of a couple weeks ago. It's been an adventure getting things to work right, but it's nice owning my data.

I may have to start doing that too. I don't like knowing that if an instance I'm on get mad at me, they can just delete all my stuff.
