Hi, hello everyone. I'm sorry to hear that I can't be followed because of my username characters. Does this mean that I can't be followed here on the forum or is it something else?
Also, should I change my username to English characters?

לאצי don't worry about it! You shouldn't have to alter your username just to suit our latin-character world

Huh. My Lemmy mobile client has the handle and host inverted. It doesn't look like this in the default web UI, though.

Also, my post from Lemmy hasn't landed here yet.

For what it's worth, I'm reading this thread from Lemmy and can see this comment of yours and access your profile, so in principle there isn't anything wrong with your username.

mro@digitalcourage.social the order of the Hebrew characters is correct, although I believe it should be wrapped in <bdi> tags so the rest of the line isn't affected </bdi>

I'm curious about how the forum https://mitmachim.top/, which operates entirely in Hebrew, deals with the issue of Unicode usernames. Does this issue even exist there? Also, it's worth noting that Mitmachim Top is based on NodeBB.

לאצי the usernames work fine locally (that is, on the site itself). It's when interoperating with other sites not running NodeBB where there are issues, it seems
