    You don’t need a static IP to have a domain name

    That’s why I said or. You need a static address of some kind for Lemmy; be it just an IP or a domain name. I haven’t seen domain names given away for free since I was in high school; where would you get one now?

      Cloudflare has a free tier for domains, although they’re a little sketch. But they also support DDNS, so which updates the IP that your domain points to when it changes
