Following the request from https://lemm.ee/post/38756969 I want to add pronouns to my username. I would like have the full " [he/him]" string appended to my username, however lemm.ee only allows up to 20 characters.

Would it be possible to add more characters or a pronoun selector like on hexbear.net?

~~Hey, the 20 character limit for display names is hardcoded into Lemmy. Even if we changed this for lemm.ee, I'm not sure if it would work through federation, as other instances might not accept such a long display name.~~

Actually, disregard that, I was looking at the wrong thing - it might be possible to raise this limit after all. I will take a better look in a few hours.
