Should I host my own instance if I don't intend to run a community? (lemmy.world)

Is there any benefit to host my own instance?

I've been thinking about self-hosting my own instance just for friends and family after the drama of different instances defederating others.

But I have a tactical question that I can't find the answer to. When you self host your own instance are you automatically federated across all the other instances? Can you interact and comment?
