Anyone selfhosting RSSHub? (lemmy.kde.social)

Hello! I'd like to follow some niche meme pages on instagram with my RSS reader app (feeder), and found out about RSSHub that seems exactly what I need. However, I tried using some of the public instances and except for the first time after requesting an RSS feed, it got rate limited and completely blocked. Does self hosting it solve the problem? Is any of you using it reliably?

An RSS feed is such a simple plain text file. I can't imagine using a dedicated solution for it.

If I needed a dedicated RSS Feed, I would be inclined to generate it with CRON job, and Jinja2 file, and about 3 lines of Python code.

What I typically do use is an extension for my current static site generator. At the moment, that's EleventyJS. But I'm only using that to create RSS because it's already creating the rest of my website.
