Lemmy user names should only allow standard characters

They're probably talking about a-zA-Z0-9, maybe _.-

Ï døñ't kńõ2w whåt ÿōû'rë tælkìng äbôüt.

Right of course, fixed.
They are probably yes, but the French might not agree since é isn't included. Let alone the vast majority of the world who doesn't use the latin alphabet.
