Make the jump, my friend. I did it. This was my reddit name, but I’ve slowly madethis my name basically everywhere, and it’s so nice not having to remember usernames.

That’s kinda impossible in Lemmy’s current implementation because your ActivityPub person ID is linked to your username (through your /u/ URL)

Mastodon also made that mistake. I believe Akkoma and the *key forks use user IDs so they could theoretically make it work, though I’m not entirely sure on that.
