My name (Diamond) mostly came from my username. I used to be more active talking on Discord, so a lot of my friends would call me based on my username. It was weird at first, but I got used to it! Some people found it surprising, but the reactions aren’t too bad.

Yeah, it’s at https://slemmy.libdb.so, the source code is also on my github!

Heads up, it doesn’t currently work with Lemmy v0. 18.0. PR https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3301 tracks this. If you or anyone can contribute to this, please do!

I use the one that I made! It was made rather early on before most of these apps became popular, but if it’s my own app, I can make it however I want…

+1 on SchildiChat here as well.

I used to use FluffyChat but it would corrupt its internal SQLite database randomly. That happened a couple of times so I just stopped using it entirely.

I’m adding this into my Lemmy client’s README.

Shameless plug (sorry) but I’m working on one too! It’s a web app that works on both desktop and mobile: https://slemmy.libdb.so.

It is a free-time kind of project (I work on it after my actual working hours), so it might not grow at the same pace as other newer apps, but I’m trying!

Source code is at https://libdb.so/slemmy, AGPLv3 license.

I think they definitely could’ve made a profile page while keeping the discriminator around. Something like discord.com/u/diamondburned/4507.

(For various reasons diamondburned#4507 is not too ideal for a URL, but it’s a small difference. Right?)
