Unicode in handles (community.nodebb.org)

I'm assuming Unicode in handles is not allowed? At least by Mastodon.

This user is not able to have their content federated because the username is all Hebrew (I think?) characters!

Hi, hello everyone. I'm sorry to hear that I can't be followed because of my username characters. Does this mean that I can't be followed here on the forum or is it something else? Also, should I change my username to English characters?

לאצי don't worry about it! You shouldn't have to alter your username just to suit our latin-character world 😁

@לאצי I agree with @julian, you shouldn't don't have to change your username. It's just a technical hurdle to jump over.

Since I can follow you on Hubzilla (via a specific URL), I don't think it is an issue with ActivityPub or WebFinger. I'm sure there is some solution that would allow other platforms to follow your account.

For what it's worth, I'm reading this thread from Lemmy and can see this comment of yours and access your profile, so in principle there isn't anything wrong with your username.
