How can I get DAI?

In my suggestion just use Polygon (Matic) Network now. AAVE platform also launched for Polygon.
You can use Matic network if you like. Use https://matic.supply/ for adding a little 0.0001 Matic you can do some basic transactions with it and i hope u can do transactions too. When empty use faucet. These are real world Transactions. Hope this helps to use real AAVE platform which is similiar to AAVE on ETH mainnet.
