What does it mean when the user has @ in front of the name
What does it mean when the user has @ in front of the name
I know that users from different instances can have @instance after the user name, but what does it mean when the username is @username ?

Oh, that makes sense. Thanks
I've been trying to figure this out too literally just found it in the settings>accounts> (yourname)>username
Hmm cool. Thanks for informing us
Everyone who isn't using a separate display name has an @. It's their actual login name, like on Twitter.
I couldn't even use capital letters in my user name, but the display name lets you use Unicode and even emojis (as you can see with mine).
yes, you inspired me, pillowtalk420@yiffit.net
and even emojis (as you can see with mine).
Looks like either you have a capital letter in your username and what I see is your username, or you don't have an emoji in your display name, or kbin strips emojis from usernames.
Edit: It appears kbin shows people's usernames, not their display names. That said, you still seem to have a capital letter in your username.
It's a user name. Users are @name@instance.tld Communities are !community@instance.tld
So I'm @SirEDCaLot@fmhy.ml
Posting a reply on !no stupid questions@lemmy.world
To you @tofurious_is_god@lemmy.worldThe sub is called nostupidquestions@lemmy.world and I'm on lemmy.world and so is he. It still reads with the @ for me
Also to add for this I dont mind the porn being around but I default to see everything because content is limited. The porn just keeps popping up while I'm browsing the local all feed lol it comes out of nowhere. Like can of beans, can of beans, can of breasts.
Like yours does? It just means he's commenting from another instance than your own home instance. If both you and the other are lemmy.world users and comment on a thread on a third instance, you shouldn't see it.
