If you just want a simple self-hosted SD experience you should look at InvokeAI. Its has a more mobile friendly experience with an intuitive UI. Its much simpler to get setup and running if you use the installer scripts and supports all the same models, TE, and LoRas. It also keeps most settings and prompts on a per device level, which is a benefit over Automatic imo.
Automatic1111 is when you want to get into more complex tasks like temporally stable style transfers in animation.
