Are there any downsides to hosting your own instance? (kbin.social)

I'm curious about this, I have a server that I used to use for a Minecraft server, but it has been shut off for a while.

What would be the downside of hosting your own instance? Maybe it would be automatically defederated from other instances?

That's one thing I'm worried about, too. I haven't set up a website before, but I believe I have the skill set to figure it out. Just don't want to waste my time doing all the legwork only for my user experience to be worse due to using my own instance instead of one of the "big" ones.
