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.

        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.
