My custom blog, Syncthing and now I'm trying Lemmy and Mastodon. Let's see how it goes!
Do you need to be able to port forward / have a domain to host a lemmy instance? Is it the same for Kbin?
Yes, I think port forward and domain name is required not just for Lemmy but for every ActivityPub service (Kbin too).
For things to work properly, yeah. Other instances need to be able to connect to your instance to send updates/etc. You could use cloudflare tunnels or something like that instead of port forwarding though
