  Will DDNS will be sufficient to host a fediverse server (I mean will other sites federate with it)

    I don’t know, maybe ?
    But I recommand strongly to have your own domain name.
    As long as you do nothing illegal, when you own a domain name, you have legal recourse to keep it. It’s not the case for an email provider like gmail, which can ban you for no reason tomorrow, and you have no recourse to get back your email.

        That’s a conversation you need to have with your parents.

        It’s a few euro per year, plus you can mutualize the cost with your family, take a domain name with your last name, this will allow your whole family to have firstname@lastname.yourcountrytld.
        I just looked for my lastname, it’s around $10 per year.
        I’ll repeat this again, but it means you will own this domain name, you have legal ressources and big companies won’t be able to take your mail address from you.
        Else, use duckdns if you really don’t want to pay anything.

    I don’t want to be rude but if you can’t afford a domain you probably shouldn’t be hosting a fediverse server.

    Honestly do you even need to expose services to the internet? Internet exposure is dangerous and is not necessary for 95% of things. You can use a mesh VPN like netbird or Tailscale if you need remote access.
