If you are cool with using Cloudflare, you can use Argo Tunnel to expose HTTP(S) services to the internet with DDOS protection and all of Cloudflares features.
They’ve made it free some time ago, you just need a pc/server in your network running the cloudflare agent software.
Most of the servers running lemmy have federation enabled and open (as you can see, I’m one of those self-hosted instances) and you can just interact with them. Some do have federation locked down, but that’s the minority
Yeah you do, IPs don’t work afaik and even if they did, many Fediverse servers don’t support them so your compatibility would be abysmal
