      Honestly i really wish i could host things without relying on another party but how viable is that really?

      I would host a lemmy instance like that if it where possible but one, i would be exposing my public ip if i did, and two, i don’t think i can get a certificate for https like that.

        All you need to get an SSL cert for HTTPS is a domain name you demonstrably own and a credit card. There’s literally no other requirement.

            You need CloudFlare? Any DNS provider can create an A record for a domain and IP then boom: accessible from any browser as soon as DNS propagates, (usually less than an hour but possibly up to 24hrs). CloudFlare is just a middle man really that offers some security and performance benefits.

            Edit: spelling
