Technically though this limitation doesn’t need to exist, but I’m not sure we should really change it either?
It would make Yarn a bit more unique. I, for one, would love to use my real name, Jürgen. 😁
@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com In that case then, let’s explore this…
Some questions:
- Will most file systems handle this okay as the feed’s filename and avatar filenames?
- Is this supported in the URI spec so URLs for feeds will still work?
- anything else I might be missing? 🤔
Someone willing to muck with the regex and give this a go? 😂
@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com So the regex just needs to be updated to support Unicode and to have the same set of rules, namely:
- Must start with a letter – Even if that letter is in another language
- Must only contain letters, numbers, underscores and dashes
- Must be no longer than 15 characters long
I’m sure we can make this happen and support Username/Feed names in other languages! 😅 👌
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah we should try to support this 😁
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Cool! 👌
