Me, who uses a locally crafted free roam instance:
I expect this to evolve like email did. It used to be very easy to host your own mail server but due to spam the large providers started using whitelists and nowadays it's almost impossible to have a self hosted mail server that is approved by the others.
Similarly, I expect that hosting your own Lemmy instance will be impossible in the future. We should enjoy it while we can.
How does that work?
Is their a way to lock it down so only you can use it? I was thinking about hosting my own. But i was worried that others might start visiting it.

Not idea, try asking in the "self hosting" community. The instance im in was created by the mods of the r/brasil subreddit and its works great (for me) because is not as popular as the bigger ones and is hosted locally in Brazil.
Ironically, the largest self hosting community is on lemmy.world
