This is a problem I’ve noticed between different apps and interfaces. I’ve actually had this username set as my screen name on my old account for a couple of months now. But I notice that different apps seem to randomly choose whether they’re going to display usernames or screen names. For example, Eternity displayed screen names, Summit only displays usernames unless you go into a profile.
It’s pretty cool here. I’ve mainly made the switch so that I can see that alt community. Which is actually just as dead as all of the other interests I like to regularly interact with lol. And I’m pretty the one person around here that regularly posts content I enjoy is pretty sick of seeing me by now.
So I’ve actually started using F*c*b**k a bit again, sadly. At least I can doomscroll and comment on things without feeling like a nuisance or loser lol. That’s where I’m getting my supply of memes from right now. Maybe if I can help other people not feel so alone here if I join in and post the content that I’d like to see. Not sure how long it’s going to last thirty because this isn’t what I really want out of a platform like this. Posting memes and shit is actually kinda boring compared to commenting on memes and shit.
But I notice that different apps seem to randomly choose whether they’re going to display usernames or screen names. For example, Eternity displayed screen names, Summit only displays usernames unless you go into a profile.
This is usually configurable in most apps. For example, Eternity has a setting called “Show community and user display names” (on by default), and Summit has a setting called “Prefer user display names” (off by default).
I think I saw that setting in Eternity. Didn’t notice it in Summit but there’s a lot of options in Summit, so I could’ve easily missed it. Thanks for letting me know it’s there somewhere though, I’ll look for it.
Edit: yup, found it. In the misc section where I was probably tired of playing with settings at that point.
Nah I’ve been back on my Blåhaj account for the last week or two already. I didn’t have the same username on that account though.
Here’s the reason for all of the username changes, Zero22xx has been my online handle for like 8 years now and it’s time to retire it, simply. It doesn’t really represent me anymore. And Secret Music was supposed to be temporary until I could figure out my new long-term online handle. Which is why the username on my lemm.ee amount was “Character_Locked” lol. But actually in the mean time, Secret Music has been growing on me more and more. It’s from a line of a song that I’ve been basically obsessed with this whole year so far.
And that’s my story, thanks for listening lol. Sorry for the username shenanigans.
I missed that, then you’re all good.
By the way, I just realized we’ve talked before! How do you like your new instance?

Were you also using that username on your Lemm.ee account? That’s what I thought was your last active account

Ah, that makes sense, I haven’t been that active in the last few weeks, so that’s why I didn’t notice.
Well, no worries, thank you for explaining!
