The benefit is I don't have all my content in one instance. Also there are a few communities I like that might not be federated with a specific instance, but are on another. There's been some talk about beehaw leaving the fediverse, and if it does I'll follow, but I'll probably check this account from time to time.
To me, the benefit of the fediverse is no advertising and no monetization or artificial promoting of posts.
I've got four accounts, and I use them all for basically the same thing, although I try to post more to native instances with each account
What's the benefit of that? I thought the point of the Federated nature of it all was so it all links together no matter what your local instance is.
