Is self hosting a matrix instance worth the effort ? (lemmy.ml)

I want to setup a matrix instance to help increase friends and family's privacy. Is there much value in creating my own instance?

I'm a beginner to linux and coding, but am good at following the steps on a video tutorial.

Alternatively i could get everyone to sign up on a preexisting instance + download the element app.

Thanks for sharing your opinions !
