Yes, once you have a server and domain you can read the lemmy docs and set up an instance of your on that server at that domain. You can then make an account on your own instance, and from that account do all your subscribing and posting and commenting on all other instances which haven't defederated from your instance, which at the start will be none, and will probably remain so unless you start doing something unsavory. You can open your instance up for others to register or not. Regardless all communities created on your instance will also be available to every other instance (again, barring defederation).
