Unrelated noob question, on my end I see your full user: @Barbarian're on different instances, fine.
But there's other people from sh.itjust.works in this thread and it only shows the first half of their handle, like Jakylla and Bernie Ecclestoned.
My guess is they have a display name setup and you don't?

Well, to think of it, mailing lists of old would be similar to communities.
