Often, its asked what the fediverse or lemmy needs more of in terms of content, but are there any specific features or functionality you really feel are lacking?

    In frontends, I’d like to have the option to not show displaynames, or at least show real usernames next to displaynames.

    If you want to reference a user using @username@instance syntax, you need to know their username, and while the displaynames can be cute, I’ve just never seen a really compelling argument for them. I also haven’t seen anyone abusing them yet, but they seem likely to be trouble from a “trying to impersonate someone else” standpoint.
