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?

You'd have a hard time finding a company that would just give you access to a vps or managed instance for free. Running a server always costs someone money.

Oracle free tier is honestly not worth the hassle. Their portal is absolutely confusing, and those who figure it out will just get banned.
