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 service mail like gmail, which can ban you for no reason tomorrow, and you have no recourse to get back your email address back.
But I cant pay the cost these days. I breed on parent's money ๐ ๐
That's a conversation you need to have with your parents.
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.
This isn't me trying to offend you I just think it would be wise to reduce the scope of you projects.
Hmm. Got it man,Thanks!!
