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?

There has to be a service running behind that domain name to do something.

To do what, exactly?

I mean this in the kindest way possible, but it’s clear you have no idea how server-based software works, like at all.

This sort of software is a very intricate web of programs talking to other copies of itself. You can install your own copy of the program, but a copy of the program is 100% required, even if it’s just you using it.
