i'm literally seeing people have those problems, which is why i'm writing about them lol. seeing people share their username and struggle to figure out which server they're at, either while trying to find someone, or even figuring that about themselves. all because pixelfed tries to be cute and doesn't show the full exact @ one would need to get to someone, but trims it just to the local username. it doesn't inform their users that just username isn't enough, and that they need a full link (with web apps and the whole situation being 'get to anyone from anywhere' it is not intuitive that they need a whole link and not just the @ part in it), and doesn't show a full handle either (which is kinda spotty with where you can put it anyway, because you can't just enter a full handle in url of any instance and get there) i guess this is just a fediverse convention for showing usernames, but it just ends up creating 'i can't find someone' problems. mastodon, for one, shows server name next to someone's username (and a tooltip with their full handle), but pixelfed doesn't. which is a bizarre choice for a federated service, cause it's counterproductive to federated connections.
