Title pretty much says it all.

    Looking at this from Voyager you have no custom name displayed, it is just “[email protected]“. My guess is that voyager doesn’t show those, same as with profile pictures.

      Oh, could be. I got here sorting by new, and I’m not a Voyager user, but I thought I had some insight. Maybe I don’t - apologies for the detour.

        Please don’t apologize for wanting to be helpful! At least I learned about a new feature that is essentially hidden from me as a mobile only user. Good to know!

        Pretty sure we always see the actual user name, but not the custom nicknames.

          Nope. Because when I try and search most people, it says they don’t exist.

                I don’t have an account on lemm.ee, so that is why it likely does not come up. Not sure how to expand search within servers federated with your instance in voyager.

                    You have to put the instance name if you want to search for a user. I just did the same search on voyager for [email protected] and it went straight to their profile.

                    Otherwise yeah, the search probably defaults to only users on your server.

            Perhaps its a federation issue?

            I doubt it is the nickname feature since according to the person who first brought up the feature responded to the first person bringing it up their chosen nickname is different from what I can see, which is their actual account name. Refer to the according comments further up
