Would it be possible for me to make comments to other instances etc?

Solved: I can’t, it would only work with a public domain.

    Works with anything that can open ports. DuckDNS works by pinging their service from anywhere to update the target IP for the subdomain.

      Doesn’t work if you are on CGNAT

        See: Anything that can open ports. NAT of any kind tends to not allow opening ports.

          Absolutely. However I feel like the whole thread needs extra clarification, considering the question OP posed.
          Dynamic DNS isn’t a magic wand in the way a Reverse Proxy over VPN is.

        Yea, that is also what I thought. To bypass this, you would need something like Cloudflare Tunnels or setup a VPN on a VPS, that redirects traffic to your homeserver.
