Is there a good way to self host a federated service at home without port forwarding? Is it possible to use cloudflare tunnels or tailscale funnel and still connect to the federation?

Slightly unrelated: is having your own instance and then federarating, just like people do with Mastodon, also equally valuable with Lemmy?
I’m not sure what exactly you mean by valuable
It’s what I moved too. Allows me to be in control of my account and be less subject to aggresive moderation. I can still participate I. Aggressively moderated communities but may not be cut off as easily if they decide to defederate suddenly like what happened with lemmy.world and beehaw (which I’m not judging, just don’t want an account on one instance to be suddenly thrust into relegation).
I may open my instance up to other users more but don’t intend to host communities since I don’t have the time nor the inclination to moderate people behavior or spammers.
It’s certainly easier on storage. Doesn’t Mastodon cache like, every image to your instance?
