    Oh that’s interesting. Normally when someone’s on a different instance, it would say: @Teali0@kbin.social or whatever as your username.

        Oh interesting. So it can look like they’re from your instance but they might not be?

          you can tell if they set a display name by if there’s an @ in the front. if it’s not there, that’s their display name. you can see their username + instance by clicking on their name

              i still see your username, so the change hasn’t federated to my instance yet. but when it does, you will show up as whatever you set your display name to
