My idea is this: I just want to send to a server like this a request from my domain name and username, but I don't want to run a full instance. Is this technically possible?

Who or what is going to send this request if not some server that implements ActivityPub?

Me, directly

ActivityPub works via pushes. So there’s nothing to query. There HAS to be some server for it to send and store that data.

Great, this is what I wanted to find out, so there has to be something listening for pushes

Not just listening, but also sending. Your instance also needs to be able to send your stuff elsewhere.

Yes, I now understand I need to have a server listening for the notifications being pushed to me
