I think the "Name" must be all lower case with no spaces. But you can use underscores to separate words. Click on the "?" just to the right of "Name," for more info.. And I could be completely wrong.
I'm sussing out Lemmy as a replacement. I still go to Reddit but I've pretty much stopped all interactions other than just reading . Reddit has now become a place to fill the blank time in my day between the times I'm busy. Hopefully Lemmy will become a replacement soon than later.
This auto-updating of the timeline is a platform killer for me. Yes, I understand it's a bug and it will be fixed with a future update. However, if this bug was widely advertised as a bug and people knew it was a bug, then most people would stick around Lemmy and wait patiently. I was one click away from abandoning Lemmy before reading your post. Just saying.
A 14 year old working in what I assume is a restaurant seems weird to me, but if their parents agree, I can't see much harm in letting a youngster put a beer or a glass of scotch in front of the customer. Heck, at that age, I was stealing beer from my dad's supply. I think I turned out OK.
