reason for name change
i too miss the smorty name kinda-
the reason i switched is cuz the old one… well, its very close to the deadname… aaaaand yea- naw… i dun like that dead name…
so this is a big boi distinction… yesyes
oh noooooo! it still shows the old name?.. grrr… thads sad…
anyway… the flair – iduno - i hav only heard those… words in an adult context…(at least the - the second ones…)
So it shows the new name in the web interface, but it still shows the old one in the app I use (Voyager). Kinda weird.
iirc the Voyager dev(s?) thinks that its super easy to impersonate someone by just changing the display name and profile picture, so they’re not adding them to Voyager (for a while atleast).
I’ll try to find the GitHub request for it
edit: found it

I see. Their explanation makes a lot of sense, but it does bother me that they claim Lemmy compatibility without supporting the full range of features.
that’s an old screenshot, but it still shows your username for me bc of my client
i guess i can see how you see it as sexual, but i really don’t mean it that way. it’s more meant to be gender affirming
