while i've got you here... i noticed another related issue: i changed my display name and bio a while ago, and the change has not propagated to other instances. compare:

• https://reddthat.com/u/al_gore_rhythm
• https://lemmy.ml/u/al_gore_rhythm@reddthat.com
• https://lemmy.world/u/al_gore_rhythm@reddthat.com
• https://feddit.org/u/al_gore_rhythm@reddthat.com

(currently all remote instances show my old name...)

edit: ... and another issue: the link parsing of those URLs is overzealous, hijacking the parts that match (i'm guessing, approximately) the regex u/\w+@\w+\.\w+

oh, i assumed this is a function of the software, but you think it is a configuration issue on this instance?

ping @ticoombs@reddthat.com

steps to reproduce:

1. create a community
2. change its name
3. load own user profile

expected results:

• community's new name is displayed both in the "Moderates" and "Subscribed" boxes

actual results:

• new community name is displayed in the "Moderates" box
• community's old name is still displayed in the "Subscribed" box

additional notes:

• the renamed community's new name becomes visible after subscribing to some other community
• sorry for posting this here, but, i don't want to give microsoft my telephone/ID/firstborn/etc which is required to open an issue on github these days
