Is there a way I can easily set up my own federated instance for free or no? (sh.itjust.works)

I want to join the Fediverse. I don’t have a computer or anything to make something like a Lemmy instance, and I found that NodeBB will easily allow you to make a forum quickly, but I have to pay to do so. Should I just pay when I can or is there a free way to make a federated instance on a software?

Is there any way to federate a ProBoards forum? I made one once and someone said I should federate it

If you go with something that isn't lemmy/piefed/mbin, you should look into compatibility and project activity very carefully.

@CraigCabbage maybe I don’t know proboards, but you can’t federate it with activitypub
