Imagine a server that is so lame that not even the owner uses it.

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/

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/...)

Since the URL is pretty vital for federation (users from federated instances would follow for example !main@pigedove-lemmy-clone-u9568.vm.elestio.app in order to join a community), it's probably worth getting the domain up and running before you start federating anyway. Even though it's a frustrating wait for sure!

I think there's potential for a bird instance - I've heard rumours the birdwatching community is pretty active over at Mastodon.

yeah that URL is terrible, I use ionos in germany for a lot of domain name reg, maybe they will suit your needs too.

I'm self hosting a mastodon instance (my 1st ruby on rails and wholy fucking shit is that bloated compared to django) and it took a while for my instance to get into the federation, now I see all kinds of fun stuff and have total control

I've run into some issues with federation posts filling the /media directory but it seems to have been sorted out now.

if you have questions DM me and I might be able to help, I'm writing code for the next 4 hours and really want to do ANYTHING else...

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.

Sad pablo escobar from imgflip.com. Pretty basic but I like it.

I think you should keep it to yourself. Far better to have complete control over it than have other people pulling child porn into your instance or whatever.
