On Reddit, it depends on the subreddit. Some of them I don’t care about usernames at all, but on smaller or more specialty/niche subreddits there actually can be a “community” of people who learn about each other
Something I can’t seem to figure out is what determines the @instance.whatever to appear after the username. For example, I’m on lem.ee and you are on lemmy.ml, but I see you as theksepyro, not theksepyro@lemmy.ml
Edit: WAIT I’m dumb. Is it just display name? hahah.
That’s what OP is referring to. You could make thekseyro@lem.ee and comment here, you’d both end up showing up as the same person on anyone using an app that doesn’t show the instance in the username.

I imagine it can be similar here

Fair point.
