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

    you could try getting rid of whitespaces and picking out parts of your username (especially repeated parts) to make space for the pronouns in your display name to fit the super restrictive 20 letter character limit imposed by lemmy software 😔

    try mycorhiza[they/them]. it’s exactly 20 characters long, so you shouldn’t have a problem with this
