despite linking to my old people in this profile's bio and vice versa

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?

I just realized we've talked before!

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.

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.
