Lemmy user names should only allow standard characters
Lemmy user names should only allow standard characters
To be clear, some really great community members have these names, but they're everywhere now. And with the right characters you can create some really annoying overlaps: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3790
Enough of them floating around now that I'll probably do a PR for my favorite client to filter them out.
You're viewing a single thread.
Agreed, the animated ones are also annoying IMO. Generally I block those users.
TIL users could have animated usernames 😳 haven't seen one myself yet
I mean the avatar.
You use a client that shows avatars? I disable all that stuff ASAP. Same with Reddit, never saw any avatars or awards or snoos... blocked all of it.
My client is called web browser. But thanks, because I found that I can disable it here too.
Okay, but which one? Our instance has a bunch of alternative UIs:
What? I didn't know that. 😀 👍 I'm using default lemmy world, that works fine for me. And I found out avatars can be disabled, so I did that.
But I'll definitely check out the other interfaces.

Don't think I've seen animated, what client are you on?
I'm on Desktop and have seen animated user names before.
Animated in what way?
Full of lively debate.
Little gifs mostly. If I remember, next time I see one I'll send you a link.
Edit: Here's a link to a comment from a user with an animated username https://sopuli.xyz/comment/6115842
Thats an avatar, not a username.
Well fuck me, you're right.
Thanks for the offer, but I politely decline.
Hey, shoot your shot, right?
I mean the avatar.
Permanently Deleted
Avatars can be! Mine is.
Sync doesn't even display gifs lmao. Your avatar is just broken for me
Sounds like a sync problem tbh.
Some clients just show it as a still photo which is fine but on the web and some decent clients it works.
Yes it's probably the avatar.
Animated? I haven't seen anything like that. How on earth does that work?
You just update the display name very fast.
