Fair enough, not going to force you. I am working on a custom domain but it takes a while with the provider I’m trying to use. And for all wondering, the URL I provided passed the safety URL safety check wit 0 detection’s (source: https://www.urlvoid.com/scan/pigedove-lemmy-clone-u9568.vm.elestio.app/)
Yeah I’m just completely unable to parse it. Also searching for the URL doesn’t come up with anything, and it isn’t yet in the lemmyverse.net or anywhere else. Elestio is a developer platform, you’re running a virtual machine, and it’s a clone of something else. All of that leaves me a little wary.
Frankly though I think users should be far more wary of the instance they use. The fact is, you’re placing your faith entirely in the instance admin - just because it says Lemmy v0.18.4 doesn’t mean that’s actually what the site is running. I went for lemm.ee in the end because the admin really seemed to know his stuff.
VM is just the best way for me to run it as I’m not ultra tech savy
It is running that lemmy version, if you don’t want to believe it, I’m fine with that.
The clone is because the first version of pigedove didn’t work.
It is less then a day old, obviously not enough time to get on there.
Elestio is just the easiest and best way to run it for me aswell.
I truly do appologise for parse issues, I am working on it, might be a day or two.
I appologise for the issues, I’m brand new to a lot of this and just want to run a small instance for some people to chill and talk about birds, ect.
No need to apologise, I’m just trying to give you my immediate perspective. That maybe isn’t even all that important if other people see it different to me.
I’m probably done signing up for new accounts in places, but I’ll subscribe to your communities, thereby linking you to lemm.ee, which might help build things up for you.
Edit: I found main and subscribed, but your memes community didn’t come up. Probably too new.
Posted from your lemmy.world account. No one is going to join if they don’t know the instance
Yeah, unable to get federating working with lemmy.world strangely, that is why. If you are interested in joining please do here: https://pigedove-lemmy-clone-u9568.vm.elestio.app/
… I don’t trust that URL lmao.

You’ve sold me on the birds, though. However, actually clicking the link redirected me to “urlvoid” page: https://www.urlvoid.com/scan/pigedove-lemmy-clone-u9568.vm.elestio.app/
Oh, that is the proof it is not sus. pigedove-lemmy-clone-u9568.vm.elestio.app/ should work.
Yes that worked. https://pigedove-lemmy-clone-u9568.vm.elestio.app/
