Sorry, but this is not an issue in Lemmy-Easy-Deploy, and technically speaking it isn't really an issue.

The internet does not use www anymore. In the modern internet, www.domain.com is no different than any other subdomain. You are essentially trying to have Lemmy accessible from two distinct domains.

Lemmy only supports being available at a single domain, so I cannot support situations where the user wants to use two domains at once, www or not.

[DaDosDude]

Maybe an option for a redirect? If I put in for example "domain" and press ctrl enter on my browser, it will automatically make it "www.domain.com" . There are several shortcuts still present in pretty much all browsers to this day to automatically complete for certain domain types. That's at least one of the reasons why pretty much all websites still support it.

[ubergeek77]

Lemmy fundamentally does not support being accessed from different domains. This is just how ActivityPub works.

A redirect could work, but it's an advanced use case with little benefit, and unfortunately I will not be adding an option for this. Please just use the regular domain.

If you must have www for some reason, you can check out the Advanced Configuration page on this repo and modify the Caddyfile template accordingly 👍

Will do. Thank you
