Also: I think usernames from other instances should show which instance they're from.
Yes the full username@instance for all remote users at a minimum would be good
There is a userscript for this now! Works a treat!

you can see this if you hover over their name. but it's not displayed by default. It'd be nice to have an option to have it written out rather than hidden.
I think it'd make the comments a little cluttered looking. It doesn't really matter what instance someone is from for regular conversation and if someone's curious the can click through to the persons profile
It should be an option. Some people prefer the "clean" version of just showing username, with needing action to see url. while others prefer seeing the entire username+url even if it's "messy". I'd prefer the latter, while others might prefer the former. It should be a toggleable option.
I think appending it to the username would be slightly messier for me, but for unexplainable brain reasons I seem to want to have this feature as well. Maybe if we stuck the instance below their avatar instead?? In any case, it would still be appreciated on articles
Yeah, whatever ui to show it i'm fine with as long as i don't need to hover over every name to see it lol. whether it's just added to the end like how tagging works, or if it's shown underneath or something is fine too.
It matters if 2 users have the same nickname.
I was thinking it should be included to avoid casual impersonation. I agree it would be a lop more cluttered though; maybe there's another way.
I mean - on the desktop site at least, I can just hover over someone's name and see what instance they are on.
