(my name is maria. i changed the display name over a year ago and made a post about it too but sadly many clients just don't display it. i'm not mad, this is unfortunately just an issue with many clients, like infinity and others)
My official stance on display_name is negative, specifically due to impersonation and UX concerns (you can see my full thoughts here: https://vger.social/comment/4447844)
While I won't support showing display_name by default, I would consider showing a future flair by default.
I would also support adding a setting to show display_name if it was off by default.

I missed that one. Do other instances not respect name changes?

i believe it's just the client, meaning, that program or website you use to view lemmy content. which client are you using?

Oh wow. Yeah, it’s voyager.
I just looked at it on safari and everything was different. Maybe they’ll get to that someday?

I’d settle for notes that I can personally attach to people that only I can see.
