If/will there be an easy way to host a community without paying for a server? (lemmy.one)

Such as reddit, will there be some sort of official spot we can go to host our own communication? As a new user I realize there's not a lot of committed I want.

You can create communities on your local instance, and they will be available to everyone else on the fediverse! You don't need to host your own instance to create a community

Some instances only don't allow community creation by users (beehaw,jeremmy when it was around) and perhaps lemmy.one is the same?

There is the ability to become a mod of an existing community on a different instance I believe - via request.
