posting here because I don't want to draw attention to myself

these don't save, the save button does nothing:

  • [they/them]
  • [they|them]
  • [they\them]
  • [they-them]
  • [they_them]
  • (they/them)
  • (they|them)
  • (they\them)
  • {they/them}

even foreign brackets fail

  • 【they/them】
  • 〈they/them〉
  • 《they/them》
  • 「they/them」
  • 『they/them』
  • 〔they/them〕

non-brackets also fail, and look stupid

  • !they/them¡
  • #they/them#
  • Othey/themO

this one "saves" but never appears, and when I go back to settings it's gone:

  • <they/them>

this one saves and appears, but I want brackets!

  • they/them

meanwhile, variants of he and she both work

it's like they have some kind of regex filter lol

    Its possible that it's just that the user name goes over the character limit because [they/them] uses so many characters

    Edit: yeah it seems like mycorrhiza [they/them] is 21 characters if I'm counting right, It's probably just that the character limit is set to 20, try removing the space between the username and the [they/them] and see if that works

        It seems like the change hasn't federated over to hexbear yet but when I viewed it on your instance it looked fine. Federation works in mysterious ways so it'll probably carry over soon <3

        I'm pretty sure we have a massive character limit for the @'s we can set and pronouns aren't included in that so ours can get really long, but lemmy.ml has quite a small character limit

        Edit: yeah I was just poking around with the pronouns settings and I think this is the largest set of pronouns you can get: "[none/use name, comrade/them]" which comes to 29 characters not even including the username itself (30 characters if you count the space between the @ and the pronouns)

          I like big PRONOUNS and I cannot lie, you other they/thems can't deny, but when a they walks in with a itty bitty face and says "this is a comfortable space" you get SPRUNG
